What is the Holistic Homestead? 

The Holistic Homestead is a 501c3 tax exempt, membership based nonprofit dedicated to education, outreach and advocacy in the rural mountain communities along the Peak to Peak Scenic Highway in Colorado.

In January 2020, the Holistic Homestead opened THE HOMESTEAD MARKET, a small co-operative market featuring fresh organic produce, local meat, bulk dry goods, herbs and spices; health/beauty/bath/home products and pet food. We are open Thursdays through Sundays from 10 – 3 at 972 Golden Gate Canyon Rd. in Gilpin County! Please support your local nonprofit market and shop local!

Who does the Holistic Homestead serve?

All residents of rural mountain communities in Gilpin and Boulder Counties and low-income families interested in holistic medicine and self-sufficient lifestyles.
