🌻 Welcome to YB Farmin’

A vibrant urban sanctuary in the heart of Ivywild where art, music, sustainable food, and community collide.

YB Farmin’ is our true labor of love, and we are absolutely thrilled to share it with you. For us, the landscape is a living canvas. We founded this farm to inject color, life, and natural beauty into the urban scenery of our beloved Colorado Springs neighborhood.

Our farming style is free-loving, creative, and deeply rooted in what works best for our unique Colorado climate. We focus heavily on native plants and companion planting. On any given day, you will find strawberries growing alongside onions, tomatoes sharing space with fresh basil and scattered herbs, and a sprawling patch of raspberries, blueberries, pumpkins, and squash.

We also love finding creative, sustainable ways to reuse materials. A prime example is our automated raised garden beds, which Greg built entirely from scratch out of an old, reclaimed wooden fence.

🐝 Meet Our Playful Crew

When you explore our urban homestead, you will quickly notice our farm's unique personality and playful features:

• 🐓 The Guardian: Keep an eye out for our giant metal rooster proudly guarding the chicken coop.

• 🌲 The Treehouse Hives: Look up to spot our clever beehives safely tucked away high in the treehouse branches.

• 🥚 The Working Girls: Our happy backyard chickens and busy urban bees work around the clock to provide the fresh foundation for our products.

🧺 The Weekend Farmstand & Online Shop

To share this joy directly with our community, we host a Weekend Farmstand packed with fresh, hyper-local goods. Can't make it on the weekend? We now offer our favorite farmstand staples online for easy ordering!

Here is a taste of what we hand-craft, bake, and harvest:

• 🍞 Artisanal Bakery: Homemade sourdough loaves baked with fresh garden herbs, scratch-made cookies, and flaky, nostalgic pop-tarts.

• 🍯 Fresh Harvests: Rich, raw honey straight from our treehouse hives and fresh farm eggs from our happy coop.

• 🧼 Beeswax Goods: Handcrafted, small-batch skincare items like our pure YB Buzzy Lip Balms made from our backyard wax.

• 👕 Farm Merch: Fun, expressive apparel like our limited-edition "It's Buzzin'" tie-dye tees to show your local pride.

🌳 Let’s Grow Together!

We believe an urban farm should be the heartbeat of its neighborhood. We are always looking for ways to give back and uplift our surrounding green spaces.

Next time you stop by the farmstand to grab your sourdough and honey, please say hello! We would love to chat with you about our newest passion project: starting a community initiative to revive our local Harlan Wolfe Park. Let's work together to keep Colorado Springs beautiful, sustainable, and buzzing.
