The Citizen applauds the work of Guidestone and their role in supporting agricultural resources of the Upper Arkansas River region by fostering a local food economy, stewarding agricultural lands in production, educating for ecological literacy, and supporting sustainable development.
Spring is coming out and so is Guidestone! Come learn what Guidestone is and what we are doing to ensure the future of agriculture in this valley. You can help us continue this vital work.
Join Guidstone for a celebration and fundraiser on Sunday, April 11, from 5 until 8 p.m. at the Boathouse Cantina in Salida next to the F Street Bridge. A $5 bill will get you in and buy you a chance at some tempting raffle prizes, as well as foot stompin’ music by “Local Honey.” Tickets will be available at the door.
Special guests will include Chaffee County Commissioner Frank Holman, who is participating in a new Guidestone initiative called Landlink, a unique partnership between landowners and new farmers.
Guidestone will also roll out its plans for this year’s Farmhands education program, a popular hands-on interactive program to introduce children and their families to the total farm experience. A new Farmhands teaching location will be announced at this event.
A healthy local food economy equals healthy, happy people. Be a part of Guidestone’s efforts to promote and support a sustainable future for the Upper Arkansas River Valley.
Guidestone thanks the following businesses for their support in making this event possible: Alternative Choices, Antero Hot Springs, Colorado Grown, Colorado Local Market, Natural Habitats, Ploughboy, South Main, and more. Raffle items are donated by massage therapist Denise Ackert, Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery, Eliza’s Bed, artist Jimmy “Rocketman” Descant, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, Free the Monkey Consignment, and more.
