Our Story

Where the name "JuNo" comes from

2017Founded

Julia + Noel = JuNo

Julia and Noel started Juno Farms outside Hotchkiss in 2017 — the name is literally the two of them, first names combined. It began as a small operation with a simple idea: grow real food in the North Fork Valley and put it into people's hands with as little processing, and as much honesty, as possible.

20Shares, total

A CSA capped at 20 shares — on purpose

Rather than growing the CSA as large as it could go, Julia and Noel deliberately keep it small: 20 shares, no more, spread across multiple North Fork Valley pickup locations. The cap isn't a limitation — it's the product. It's what lets every shareholder get direct, ongoing communication with the two people growing their food, instead of becoming a name on a list.

TodayThe farm now

Still small, still hands-on

Every jar, pouch, and CSA box still comes off the same farm outside Hotchkiss, hand-labeled by the two people whose names made the brand. Nearly a decade in, Juno Farms is still what it set out to be — a real, small North Fork Valley operation, not a co-op or a distributor.

What We Make

Every label still gets written out by hand

Freeze-dried, not dehydrated — Juno Farms' whole product line is built around retaining what a fresh vegetable, fruit, or herb actually is, not just what's left after it's been dried out.

Juno Farms freeze-dried pear slices in a hand-labeled pouch — Pear

Juno Farms freeze-dried lemon slices in a hand-labeled pouch — Lemons

Juno's freeze-dried garlic powder, hand-labeled jar with garlic cloves — Garlic

CSA memberships, fine powders, and everything in between

The CSA is the heart of it — multiple pickup locations around the North Fork Valley, 20 shares total. Alongside that: freeze-dried fruit, vegetable, and snack packs (strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, tomatoes, veggie mix), fine fruit and spice powders (thyme, mint, garlic, lemon, apple, strawberry, red onion), and freeze-dried meals and candy.

No preservatives, no added sugar — just fresh produce, freeze-dried.

Ways to Get It

Three ways to bring the farm home

CSA Membership

Capped at 20 shares with multiple North Fork Valley pickup locations — direct, ongoing communication with Julia & Noel included, not an afterthought.

Freeze-Dried Fruits, Vegetables & Snacks

Strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, tomatoes, and a veggie mix — shelf-stable, no preservatives, no added sugar.

Fine Fruit & Spice Powders, Meals & Candy

Thyme, mint, garlic, lemon, apple, strawberry, and red onion powders, plus freeze-dried meals and freeze-dried candy.

Imagine What's Next

A few possibilities for a farm this hands-on

A facelift is just the beginning. Here's what a technology partner could build alongside Julia and Noel — none of this exists yet, just possibilities worth imagining.

POSSIBILITY 01

An after-hours order & CSA waitlist assistant

Imagine a text line that answers "do you have any CSA shares open?" or "is thyme powder back in stock?" at 9pm on a Sunday — instantly, without Julia or Noel having to stop what they're doing on the farm.

POSSIBILITY 02

Seasonal restock reminders

Imagine a regular spice-powder customer getting a one-tap "reorder your garlic powder?" text right when they're likely running low — instead of Juno Farms hoping they remember to come back.

POSSIBILITY 03

Automatic review requests after pickup

Imagine every CSA pickup or market sale quietly triggering a friendly "how was it?" text a few days later — turning years of happy customers into the public reviews the farm doesn't have yet.

These are ideas, not features of the current site — a glimpse of what's possible alongside the farm that's already here.
