Further Up Farms

Further Up Farms is a small scale, multi-generational family owned, pesticide and herbicide free, market garden and aquaponics farm located in Elizabeth Colorado. We have farm stands and veggie pickup locations ranging from Black Forest (NW Colorado Springs), Elizabeth, Castle Rock, and Littleton, Colorado.

We believe small, local agriculture is the future of more sustainable and delicious eating for you and your family—won’t you join us on this adventure?

The Family that Grows Together

We are a family of dreamers, planners and schemers; but thankfully we have some practical and no-nonsense members amongst us too!

From our first test garden in 2022, to our fourth selling season in 2026, we have learned and grown so much as a family, and a farm. We are a family that grows together, and we want to invite you to be apart of our journey here at Further Up Farms.
