Producer

Belafonte Farm, rooted in a passion for good food and responsible farming, is the brainchild of Dennis, a seasoned traveler and former mechanical engineer turned farmer. With a mission to coexist harmoniously with nature, the farm focuses on providing community-preferred nutritious food while enhancing soil fertility, increasing biodiversity, and improving water efficiency. In its third season of operation, Belafonte Farm offers organically grown produce through a Community Supported Agriculture program and the Larimer County Farmers' Market. Dennis, drawing inspiration from his farming experiences in Maine and St. Croix, practices organic, no-till, human-scale methods to cultivate an acre of delicious food production. Operating on leased land in Fort Collins, including the Flores del Sol Natural Area, the farm contributes to the Northern Colorado Foodshed Project's vision of community-supported farmland. The farm's name, inspired by a Wes Anderson movie, symbolizes hope and a commitment to mend relationships within the agricultural system. As Dennis joyfully immerses himself in soil, Belafonte Farm stands as a beacon of sustainable and holistic farming practices, embodying a deep connection to nature.
