Stop by their self-serve farm stand in Longmont for fresh produce and flower bouquets, open daily from 10 to 6 through November. Their CSA returns next season, with sign-ups opening in February.

If you can take away some of the financial burden upfront and have community, that's a big thing. — Cody Jurbala, Speedwell Farm & Gardens
Cody & Mel of Speedwell Farm & Gardens and Helen of Farmette Flowers, making up two thirds of The Treehouse Farm Collective, talk about their shotgun wedding farming collectively for land access and their model that respects both their pre-existing individual farm business autonomy while reaping many of the benefits of farming closely with others.
We've all loved the community feel of this set up. Farming is not easy work, and some days are hard. It's really nice to be able to lean on each other occasionally for the extra support. — Melissa Ogilvie, Speedwell Farm & Gardens
The name Treehouse Collective fits their shared vision. “It connotes a place where kids make the rules and we all create our own reality — a place where we can imagine and dream,” Skiba said.
