Come connect with what's happening at Mariposa Ascendente (Butterfly Rising), the regenerative demonstration garden and outdoor classroom, formerly a project of Colorado Farm & Food Alliance (COFFA). We have been dreaming up some ideas for programming in the cocoon, and we'd love to hear what you'd like to see us provide. We're here to support rural resilience in the North Fork Valley and beyond. Let's crank up the wood stove, enjoy some snacks and music, and talk about what's possible.
