Joy Through Action
FARM | ‘färm | n: a tract of land devoted to agricultural purposes. A place where nourishment is grown with a prioritization on healthy soil, where food is grown in harmony with plants, animals, humans, and the greater ecosystem.
CRAG | ’krag | n: a steep rugged rock or cliff. Climbers have adopted these as a place to climb, mountain bike trails thread between them, paragliders launch from them, runners and hikers are immersed in their natural beauty.
We Are Farm To Crag.
We’re a climber-driven non-profit responding to climate change by encouraging food choices that create healthier athletes, thriving communities, and climate resilient soils.
At Farm To Crag, we believe that eating food grown by sustainable farming practices is an easy and powerful way for climbers to take action on climate change. We live by a simple equation—healthy soil equals nutrient dense food and equals strong climbers.
As climbers, we have the unique opportunity to vote with our forks and positively impact the health of the places where we climb—our soils, our earth, and our bodies. At Farm to Crag, we live by these principles.
Farm To Crag makes it easy for you to find local, seasonal, and sustainable food wherever you are.
Whether traveling to your local crag, a far-flung climbing area, or heading to the mountains for a run, seeking out locally-grown food provides better fuel for your adventure and helps sustain the passionate growers and communities that support our favorite pastime. It’s a joyful way to make a positive environmental change.
We help you find food and community through our interactive Farm To Crag map, by hosting educational climbing events at local organic farms, by taking climbers farming—and farmers climbing—through climbing gym dinners that celebrate local food, awe-invoking stories, and farm policy tutorials.
