The seed of an idea that germinated into what eventually became 41North began on New Year’s Eve 2016. 41North evolved as a response to a question: what would happen if we combined advanced greenhouse engineering, solar power, and aquaponic gardening? Could we just grow food forever, automatically?

After finishing construction in May 2018, 41North launched operations officially in September of that same year. The company immediately began selling out of its’ first microgreen harvests, progress that has continued through Spring 2019.

In February of 2019, 41North also started hosting exclusive farm-to-table dining experiences at private residences in Steamboat Springs and throughout Yampa Valley.

Up until early 2020, 41North sold all of its production capacity to the top fine-dining establishments in Yampa Valley, supplying restaurants with the freshest available produce throughout the year.

In early 2020, 41North pivoted its business model entirely to directly service the local residential community with delivery farm shares. 41North now delivers its produce exclusively to a robust, engaged, growing membership of local residents throughout Yampa Valley.

Passive-Solar Greenhouse

41North’s 3,680 square foot, climate-controlled greenhouse is designed to capture and store heat energy from the sign in a very efficient manner. This unique structure has a roof that tracks the sun, pitched at a 40° angle to match the latitude of northwest Colorado.

Aquaponic Farming

Our fish produce nitrogen-rich fertilizer that helps feed our plants with the freshest nutrients available. Once the plants remove the nitrogen from the water, the water is returned to the fish tank, starting the cycle over again.

Climate Battery

Buried 5′ deep in our foundation, the climate battery stores and recirculates warm air produced during the daytime to heat the greenhouse at night, and that same cooler air pumped in at night to help cool the facility. This helps maintain a stable 55°-80° climate using minimal energy.
