The Rainbow Ranch

colorado Springs, Colorado,

United States

The Rainbow Ranch is a small, rural community forming in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Our focus is to live sustainably through organic farming, livestock, and home-based business. Our goal is to be off the grid and completely self-sufficient. Alternative forms of energy and building materials are encouraged as we explore these possibilities together. Our philosophy is to tread lightly on the earth, while feeding and replenishing the soil. As we take care of our Mother Earth, she will take care of us.
