Ultreia Farm & Wellness was founded in 2016 and is owned and operated by partners Melissa Newell and Cale Kennedy.  Melissa hails from rural Missouri and brings with her a background in nutritional sciences, years spent managing a farm-to-table restaurant, and experience from many seasons spent farming in Boulder County, Colorado.  When not in the field, she enjoys cooking, preserving, and fermenting the farm’s veggies, cycling and Nordic skiing on the Mesa, and spending time with her dogs and farm animals. 

Cale is a native Coloradan, and brings with him a background in graphic design, years working as a project manager, and time spent working in Denver’s vertical greenhouses.  When not tending to plants, he enjoys throwing pottery, alpine skiing, and fishing. Cale is the proprietor of Free Range Ceramics, and his work can be found at the Grapevine Gallery in Paonia.
