With roots in sustainability and community engagement, Kena and Mark Guttridge have cultivated a thriving hub of regenerative agriculture, education and food equity at Ollin Farms. Nestled along Left Hand Creek, their farm produces nutrient-dense crops while serving as an incubator for ecological, hands-on learning and research in sustainable food systems. The Guttridges’ impact reaches far beyond building a thriving business — they have sustained initiatives that bridge gaps in food access, partnering with local organizations to bring thousands of pounds of fresh produce annually to families in need, supported the local economy through their on-site farm stand that regularly hosts other local businesses, provided
first-time employment to local youth, supported sustainable land use, worked to preserve rural landscapes and provided educational opportunities about food production.
