The term “organic” has been adopted by the farming community to identify growing methods that sustain soil health, ecosystems, and people. It should be no surprise that Cascadian Farm cares about supporting natural beauty — both on and off the farm.
One of the most stunning examples of natural beauty can be found at a place called Red Rocks, just a short drive west of Denver, Colorado. Red Rocks Park features miles of hiking and biking trails through some of Colorado’s most spectacular scenery. It’s also an amazing performance venue, with over 60,000 people coming to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre every summer for concerts and other events.
Cascadian Farm is proud to support Red Rocks Summer Concert Series for the entire season by donating WindSource® power from Xcel Energy. This will allow Red Rocks to purchase renewable energy for 100% of their electricity needs this summer. This saves the equivalent of 21.8 homes using electricity for an entire year! Other similar examples would be the elimination of emissions from 6,553 propane cylinders (as used for a home BBQ grill), or saving 17,852 gallons of gasoline.
Cascadian Farm has also sponsored Red Rocks Amphitheatre’s “Zero Waste Station,” a recycling center with bins for compost, beverage containers, and paper. Our recycling efforts have prevented over 5.86 tons of recycling and compost from ending up in a landfill.
We are proud to support Colorado’s natural beauty and the wonderful music performed at Red Rocks every year. If you’re in the area, we hope you’ll stop by Red Rocks for a hike, a ride, or an evening of fantastic musical entertainment. Learn more about Red Rocks at: http://www.redrocksonline.com
