Little Sun Farm is an urban vegetable farm growing on less than one acre in Fort Collins, Colorado. Little Sun Farm grows a wide variety of cooking and salad greens, roots and culinary herbs, as well as the classic favorites (tomatoes, onions, snap peas, green beans, cucumber, etc.).

The farm was established in 2019 by Reiden Leslie (Laguna Pueblo/Comanche). After returning to school in 2015 to study agriculture and organic farming, Reiden realized that farming also provided a way of connecting to her Native American ancestry and the legacy of Pueblo agriculture from the American southwest. The name ‘Little Sun’ comes from one of Reiden’s Pueblo family clan names.
