Round
Mountain Institute, Inc. was founded in 2002. A decade
earlier the land at the base of Round Mountain began its
transformation into an ecologically friendly farm.
Through the years over a thousand people have toured the
ever-changing landscape. It all began with a yurt, then
the first straw bale house in Gunnison County and
finally with a partially straw bale solar greenhouse.
The past 12 years have seen the gardens grow to over
2-acres of ecologically cultivated vegetables, flowers
and herbs. Without the overwhelming community support
for Round Mountain Institute it never could have
materialized into what was once just a vision. The
vision was inspired by seeing the toxic agri-business of
America polluting the environment and the simple
non-toxic farming methods of Nepali villagers sustaining
themselves in rhythm with the Earth.
Round
Mountain Institute, Inc. continues to grow and prosper
with the never-ending enthusiasm from our friends near
and far. Your financial support and kind words keep us
inspired to continue working towards a sustainable way
of life. Thank you!

season of bountiful harvests! Come join us for some fun
in the dirt!
