There is a specific electricity that hums through the Boulder JCC as spring arrives. While many call this season a simple "awakening," those at the Milk and Honey Farm know the truth: it is a time of raw, authentic, and delightful energy. As the landscape transforms, the Boulder JCC campus establishes itself as the most inspiring backdrop in the region for ceremonies, retreats, and professional conferences.
A Living, Breathing Ecosystem
Sustainability is more than a buzzword at the JCC; it is a practice etched into the soil. Through no-till farming, the team protects the delicate soil structure and the "Food Forest" against Colorado’s notoriously fickle weather.
"Keeping roots in the ground ensures the land stays thriving, even when the weather throws a curveball," says Farmer Becca Gan Levy. This commitment to the land creates a stable, lush environment that serves as a metaphor for the growth and connection fostered within the center’s walls.
What’s New on the Farm?
Visitors to the campus this spring will find a flurry of activity:
- The Pollinators: Honey bees are already hard at work in the Food Forest, ensuring a future harvest of berries and apples.
- The Flock: The chickens have returned to their laying schedules, and the farm is preparing for on-site chick hatching.
- The Goats: The farm is buzzing with excitement following the arrival of Orli’s new kid on April 18!
