Farm
Yates Heritage Farm
A Colorado-registered hemp farm on Nelson Road in Longmont, Front Range Colorado, running trial varieties selected for the local climate — cold-hardy and drought-resistant — and integrating cider-apple agroforestry on the same land. Maintains regenerative practices: pollinator and beneficial-insect habitat, naturally-trapped honeybee swarms managed with minimal intervention. Sells hemp flower, salve, and whole-plant extract direct.

What they do
Yates Heritage Farm is a [[boulder|Colorado]]-registered [[hemp-farm|hemp farm]] in Longmont, on the Front Range. The operation is doing variety-trial work for the local climate — explicitly: “Selection for our climate; cold hardy, drought resistant.” That is regional-genetics work, the same logic an orchard does with apple cultivars but compressed into hemp’s much shorter breeding cycle.
The farm integrates cider-apple agroforestry on the same parcel and runs regenerative habitat work: pollinator and beneficial-insect strips, and naturally-trapped [[honeybee|honeybee]] swarms with “little to no management.” Retail products are hemp flower, hemp salve, and whole-plant hemp extract, sold direct through the farm’s online shop.
Why it’s listed
Three filters layer into a strong signal: (1) hemp as a substrate-builder crop (fiber, hempcrete inputs, food-grade seed, wellness extract — [[directory|the directory]]‘s hemp hub treats this whole input stack as foundational to material independence from fossil-derived inputs); (2) regional-genetics variety-trialing for cold-hardy / drought-resistant selection — most hemp in the US is still grown to genetics bred elsewhere, so farms doing local selection are doing rare and slow-paying work; (3) agroforestry with cider apples layered into the same operation. Each filter alone would warrant a listing; together they’re the operation [[directory|the directory]] exists to surface.
