Telluride’s Tomten Farm needs some TLC

Tomten greenhouse w dbl rainbow The holiday season is upon us in Telluride, with loads of opportunities for spreading a little cheer. The New Community Coalition's Kris Holstrom, owner of Tomten Farm (you buy their produce every year at the Telluride Farmer's Market) has  two greenhouses in need of a little TLC.

The ‘old standby’ greenhouse needs some clean up and organization. The ‘new growing dome’ needs its water tank put together, reflectix stapled up and a bit more. Saturday, November 28, 11 – 2 p.m.(ish), is an opportunity to check out this amazing structure as Tomten starts to get it ready for production.

The following are the directions:

From Telluride: head towards Placerville. Just after the Sawpit sign (and before the Mercantile) take a RIGHT on County Road 58P. Climb 3 miles and take a LEFT on County Road 56V. Travel ¾ mile and take a LEFT on Old Elam Ranch Road. Tomten is the first place on the right.
From Ridgway: head towards Placerville. Just past the turn to Brown Ranch Homestead (log cabin near the highway) take a LEFT on County Road 56V. You’ll go directly over Leopard Creek. Travel 1 mile, stay RIGHT to continue on CR56V (you’ll go downhill and over Alder Creek). Travel about 3 miles or so and take a RIGHT on Old Elam Ranch Road. Tomten is the first place on the right.
