Fellow Gardener,
Imagine your backyard has a new greenhouse where you are growing huge amounts of vegetables year-round. Imagine you are generously giving away your excess bounty and everyone is wondering how you do it. Imagine how many options will open up for you when you don’t really need a grocery store anymore.
34 years ago, Lynn Gillespie wanted to find a way to work from home while taking care of her young children. Her husband Tom built her the first greenhouse and Lynn started a business growing vegetable starts.
Lynn struggled with every issue that can come up while growing in greenhouses. During the long hard years of learning, Lynn lost entire crops due to everything from technical failures to insects. She learned what materials completely fall apart…. and what building materials stand up to the fierce Colorado sun and harsh winters (especially the heavy snow loads and bitter cold).
Continually experimenting and trying out different methods, materials, and varieties of plants, Lynn and Tom have now built, and grow in, five different greenhouses.
And along the way, Lynn has tried every gadget, every heating system, and every cooling technique.
Today, Lynn is a highly successful grower. She can tell you exactly how many days before that head of broccoli will be ready to pick, why it isn’t worth it to grow tomatoes in the winter, and exactly how many pounds you’ll get from that 4 square feet patch of lettuce.
In her five greenhouses Lynn grows produce for a CSA, a farm-to-table cafe, and for the local market. Lynn has earned a well-deserved reputation for being able to consistently and predictably deliver super high quality, delicious, vegetables.
All of the greenhouses are different – each representing different building styles, orientations, materials, and bed configurations. You’ll get to touch, feel, and see the results of 34 years of successes, failures, and practical growing experience.
All of the greenhouses heating systems range from either completely passive or so low energy you only need a small solar power system to run them.
One has a geothermal system, another has a home hot water heater system, a third uses a ceiling heat collection system, and much more.

Let’s not go into gloom and doom here, but we all know the world is getting crazier every day. There are many scenarios where the food supply could be interrupted…. for days, weeks, or even months.
And regardless of where you stand on the issue of climate change, one fact is clear: the weather is getting more and more turbulent.
Having a controlled environment with a system for how to produce food is a kind of insurance that can’t be bought.
In interviews with numerous baby boomers, when asked “what is your favorite memory of your grandparents” they inevitably talked about a time when they were harvesting and eating fresh produce with Granny or Grand Dad.
Kids are awed by the magic of food being made by plants.
A warm greenhouse on a crisp winter day is a wonderful place to spend quality time with your children and grandchildren.
Three days that will change your life.
Lynn and Tom’s farm and the five greenhouses are in Paonia, CO.
Never heard of it?
No, almost no one has.
It’s way off the beaten path.
It’s in the heart of the organic farming region of Colorado. It’s a quaint small town surrounded by wilderness. It’s filled with entrepreneurs, artists, and lots of gardeners. The outskirts of town are filled with organic fruit orchards and pasture raised farms.
The closest airport is in Montrose, about 50 minutes away.
Lynn and Tom keep the class size small and intimate so you get answers to questions on your specific site in your backyard. The classroom is located just a few hundred feet from the Gillespies private home, and surrounded by their working farm.
The classroom building is a
demonstration of sustainability featuring a rocket mass heater that warms the entire building with just a handful of kindling. You’ve got to experience this!
