Saving Farms One Whiskey at a Time
Conservation
The livelihood of our small business depends on land, a commodity that for us and so many others is scarce and exponentially depleting.
In December of 2022, Olander Farms and Root Shoot Malting together finalized a Conservation Easement with Colorado Open Lands, an agreement that permanently limits the use of our land, 112 acres, and will ensure the continued pace, quality, and permanence of protected agriculture in our region.
We’re here to tell our story to raise awareness far beyond our own farmland, and we’re campaigning to keep farmers on farms – a future that supports the rural agricultural communities, families, and wildlife.
Regeneration
Olander Farms is implementing practices associated with the regenerative agriculture movement.
We’re taking creative approaches to increase and maintain soil health, retain and reuse water, bio-sequester carbon, and promote biodiversity in our region.
Commitment
We need your support to help us preserve and regenerate Colorado agriculture, allowing us to continue growing and producing local grains on our farmland.
Help us keep telling this story by sharing our documentary film titled 100 Year Lease.
Commit to knowing your farmer, your maltster, and your breweries and distilleries who utilize craft grains. Seek out products made with Root Shoot malt and grains as an ambassador of craft and take action by MAKING AN IMPACT.

100 Year Lease is a documentary film produced by Root Shoot Malting andTraverse Imageto convey the significance of family farms, and to preserve the longevity of Colorado agriculture.
This project is rooted in Colorado and inspired by a premise that we live and believe:
