As a key feature in the Twin Buttes sustainable development project, the Gardens provide not only healthy, locally grown produce, but also a place for connecting our community to the land through educational and volunteer opportunities. Started in 2007, the Twin Buttes Gardens have grown from a .5 acre test plot to now include 5 acres of vegetable production, a small apiary, and a flock of laying hens. Produce is distributed through an 80 member CSA program and to a number of local restaurants and health food stores in Durango, CO.
