Welcome to The Holistic Homestead!
We are a membership based & volunteer powered nonprofit dedicated to improving health and wellness in rural Colorado! Our #1 passion is helping our community eat better by providing access to fresh healthy food. In fact, WE ARE THE ONLY GROCERY STORE IN GILPIN COUNTY!
We accept EBT/SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks, we have a Community Food Share program (best deal on fresh, local produce year-round!) supporting over 15 small local farms, a Pay-What-You-Can Farm to Table Cafe serving over 1300 meals annually, AND we founded and continue to run the Gilpin County Farmers Market uplifting the local economy and supporting small businesses!
WE NEED YOUR HELP to continue going and growing, and in 2024 we are focussed on improving our dedicated vegetarian Pay-What-You-Can Farm to Table Cafe including adding breakfast burritos, grab-and-go deli items, expanding our curbside and delivery ordering options, and updating our kitchen equipment.
Every donation counts and helps us get closer to our goal! Your support makes a direct and positive impact on the health of our rural community by making healthy food and hot meals accessible and available to everyone - thank you!

Our mission is to improve health and wellness through education, outreach, and advocacy through improving health literacy, building healthy communities, and advocating for the medically underserved in rural Colorado.
The Holistic Homestead started in 2013 when founder Arwen Ek recognized a need in her community for greater access to affordable, holistic health care. She started publishing health and wellness articles in the local papers and hosting monthly "Tea Parties" to educate and empower people to take charge of their health through lifestyle improvements and simple, natural remedies.
In 2016, the Holistic Homestead incorporated and in 2017 received 501c3 status.
In 2017 The Holistic Homestead surveyed the community to understand what the greatest needs were for improving health and wellness and 90% of respondents voted for a grocery store - access to fresh, nutritious food is the foundation of a healthy life!
In 2018 we started the Community Food Share and the Gilpin County Farmers Market, and in 2020 we opened our brick-and-mortar Market and Cafe, now open to the public six days a week.
