The Forbes Family Farm

Our farm operates with a focus on sustainability and community. We sell our produce through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, where families purchase a membership share and receive fresh produce weekly throughout the growing season. We grow over 70 different crops, from root vegetables and greens to tomatoes and cucumbers. In addition to produce, we raise chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, yaks, and cattle on pasture. We also host special events that showcase the delicious flavors of our farm-fresh ingredients. For those looking to experience farm life firsthand, we offer a guesthouse and covered wagon glamping experience through Airbnb, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.

*Forbes Family Farm operates as a working farm and is not open to the public, but welcomes visitors to book their farm stay through Airbnb or schedule a visit by appointment only.*

  • U-Pick
  • Field Trips
  • Farm Stays (through Airbnb)

Emily & Steve Forbes

We weren’t born farmers, but an interest in healthy eating and a passion for cooking led us to start gardening in whatever space we had available. We began by growing a basil plant in our windowsill, and soon expanded to a container garden on our condo balcony with tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce. As our family grew, we moved into a house with a larger backyard where we grew more of our own produce, planted fruit trees, and got backyard chickens. After the birth of our third child, we made the life-changing decision to quit our corporate jobs and move to rural NE Utah to start a small farm. Our goal was to grow the highest quality food for our family and the local community. Farming allows us to work together as a family, and we value the hard work and relationships that come with it.
