More than 55,000 pounds of produce were produced this year. Visiting groups join us year round, with 1,075 participants total. We welcomed 934 participants from 22 classes, two homeschool groups, 2 Sister Cities groups (from Argentina and France), and groups from Aspen Camp for the Deaf, Solstice Wellness Retreat, and New Mexico School for the Deaf at the FarmPark. Due to the construction of our Farm Center, we were able to accommodate fewer groups onsite this spring. Instead, our Education Director visited 141 students in their classrooms to complete a natural art project and discuss the importance of worms and composting with a worm bin. 160295 141204 Summer Camp Programs. Research demonstrates that growing food is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect children to nature and to get people outside. The flagship summer program, Earth Keepers, saw capacity attendance in the reporting year with 330 participants for six hours/day, five days per week for 10 weeks. Programs were sold out 10 out of 10 weeks. We reached over 2,000 student days this summer.Farmer In Training: After piloting new tween/teen programs in 2023, we launched our new Farmer In Training (FIT) program (for ages 13-17) summer of 2024 to provide agricultural education and training. Through this program the participants learned to plant and harvest, learned to properly wash and pack the produce for the farmer's market, and learned how to set up and maintain an irrigation system. In addition to these skills, they have learned how to work on a team. The success of this program is evident in the skills and confidence gained by participants, setting them on a path towards success in agriculture and skills that will serve them in their future careers. Four participants were accepted as paid participants and two accepted on a volunteer exchange agreement. 557650 133732 All Others 557650 133732 1012030 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CO X The Organization 9703792323 220 Juniper Hill Road Aspen CO 81611 Eden Vardy Executive Director 40.00 X X 131250 0 0 Lisa Houston Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Ward Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Person Vice President 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rich Benenson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Betsy Fifield Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tamara Tormohlen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart Wilson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Brady Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Davlyn President 1.00 X 0 0 0 River Morgan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Lewis Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Lovins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dennis Young Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Miracle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Tangen Treasurer 1.00 X 0 0 0 Siobhan Farey Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Dubin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marcus Thackston Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 131250 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 104452 470238 1597588 2172278 Summer camps 611600 141204 141204 141204 129612 129612 12361 8241 4120 4120 4120 42315 42127 188 188 Produce Sales 110000 220815 220815 220815 2668217 495751 0 188 131250 78750 39375 13125 656533 558053 65653 32827 3482 2960 348 174 51312 51312 25488 25488 9220 9220 9164 9164 7140 7140 58603 58603 22800 22800 Program Expenses 160295 160295 Car and Truck 15058 15058 Bank Charges 12535 12535 Meetings 2793 2793 3262 652 2610 1168935 1012030 110779 46126 494754 377524 3431459 2936413 118274 133795 4018756 395852 1526867 3622904 5571354 7070636 139200 139200 139200 139200 X 2607154 4068436 2825000 2863000 5432154 6931436 5571354 7070636 1499282 0 X 0 0 0 X 309662 1923250 439115 1760475 2355797 6788299 309662 1923250 439115 1760475 2355797 6788299 1899365 4888934 1183 10667 106921 129612 248383 7036682 472937 0.69480 0.52570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4018756 395852 3622904 3622904 SBA EIDL Loan 139200 139200 Farm to Table Dinner 42315 42315 35101 3839 3187 42315 42315 35101 3839 3187 42127 188 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Husband & Wife Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Form 990 is prepared by outside account with assistance from Treasurer, Executive Director and Staff as necessary.
