Our Story

For many years Chelsea Tague was an avid gardener with a few chickens and bees, but as the pandemic hit in 2020 she found herself with extra time on her hands to turn her dream of being a farmer into a reality. Tague Farm developed from a need to be outside as well as a dream to grow food for family and community. The reality of farming in Colorado as well as an urban setting shaped the direction the farm needed to go, specifically, up. Vertical farming is a fantastic way for microgreens to grow. The other wonderful thing about growing indoors is that the changes in the weather does not affect the growth of the greens very much. It can be 10 degrees and snowing outside and the farm will be 65 degrees. This means farm fresh greens year-round.

In the planning process of Tague Farm, Chelsea was also clear about another goal, to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as she could. Tague farm is dedicated to this idea by using only compostable packaging and using less resources (energy and water). The indoor farm uses ebb and flow tables that lonely water the plants for a short period using less water. The farm also uses highly efficient LED lights and has insulated the building to use less energy year-round. The plants are happy, and the footprint is small. In the future Chelsea hopes to continue growing microgreens and her business. She enjoys working with local grocery stores, chefs, and the community directly. With the support of her husband and family the future of Tague farm is bright.
