Alchemy Farms

Client Background

Alchemy Farms is a regenerative silvopasture orchard located in Longmont, Colorado, designed to produce fruit, nuts, and pasture-raised livestock products for the local community. Developed in partnership with the Herbiculture Project, the farm also cultivates field-scale medicinal herbs for both personal and commercial use.

Challenges & Objectives

The primary aim of this project was to develop a system that could produce high-quality regenerative livestock and perennial crops while promoting ecosystem health.

Our Approach

We implemented keyline design to manage water flow and optimize soil moisture retention, ensuring the farm’s orchards and pastures thrive in the semi-arid climate. Alchemy Farms integrates fruit and nut trees with livestock grazing, creating a silvopasture system that enhances both crop production and soil health. We created a windbreak of deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs to protect tree blossoms in spring and animals in winter. In partnership with the Herbiculture Project, we established large-scale medicinal herb plots to diversify the farm’s offerings. To further the farm’s holistic mission, we designed and constructed a quarter-acre tree-lined labyrinth—a calming space dedicated to healing the mind and connecting with nature.

Results & Successes

The keyline design efficiently directs water across the farm, supporting resilient fruit and nut orchards as well as lush pastures for regenerative animal husbandry. The silvopasture system has bolstered soil fertility, promoted plant diversity, and enhanced livestock health, while the medicinal herb berms have provided valuable medicines for both market sales and community wellness. The labyrinth has become a unique feature of the farm, offering a peaceful, meditative environment for visitors to relax and reconnect.

Sustainability & Long-Term Impact

Alchemy Farms combines perennial crops with sustainable livestock management to restore soil, improve water efficiency, and create long-term agricultural resilience. The tree-lined labyrinth enhances the farm’s mission of healing both the land and the people who visit, making it a destination for those seeking a deeper connection with nature.
