It's been 10 years since the community came together to "Keep Polston Public" by purchasing 38 acres of property along the Rio Grande river, moving forward with the Rio Grande Farm Park project thanks to the San Luis Valley Local Foods Coalition, Trust for Public Land, and countless other contributing organizations and individuals.
For me, having gone to Polston Primary school from 1988 to 1991 and later serving as a plaintiff to secure public ownership and access to the property in 2013, it has been an amazing journey to return to the land every year and see all of the developments to further the goals of local farming, gardening, and multipurpose community event space on this gem of a location.
