Celebrating the connection between personal health and wild lands
Turtle Lake Refuge is a non-profit that promotes sustainable practices honoring the wild wisdom of nature and the health of the community. We achieve this by growing, harvesting and preparing local, wild and living food through our Turtle Cafe and at our booth at Durango Farmer's market. We also offer classes teaching about the great values of the wild, edible, and medicinal abundance available in our area. At the cafe, microgreens are grown and wild food products are created for the public, restaurants, and stores. Through our Bee Happy Lands program, we provide organic land stewardship throughout the Southwest.
