Cloud City Conservation Center

C4s works to increase waste diversion opportunities and reduce local ghg emissions through our community composting program, zero waste event services and support for the lake county recycling center. In 2024, c4 diverted over 55,000 pounds of waste from landfills to recycling and composting programs.

Cloud city farm & community garden, lake countys sole produce farm & community garden, provides local, fresh produce for our community through a weekly donation-based farm market and food donations to community partners. At 10,152 feet above sea level we are the highest farm in north america. Located on school district property we provide educational opportunities for both adults and youth connected to farming, the food system and sustainability on the farm. In 2024, we grew and distributed over 4,000 pounds of produce and engaged 25% of county residents (including 75% of youth).

In 2024, c4s programs served 3,800 individuals, or 51% of lake countys residents across our programming focused on energy efficiency, environmental education, sustainable food and waste diversion.
