Bill Folsom and last updated 2021-03-01 23:59:22-05 FOUNTAIN â The future of the beloved Venetucci Farm in Fountain has been reimagined. Forward is as a flower farm. For now, growing pumpkins and other produce has to be in the past. âGrowing flowers is a fantastic alternative,â said Flower Farmer Nikki McComsey. Transitioning the farm to growing flowers allows McComsey to expand her young business, while also reviving the farm that has been shutdown since 2016 when contaminated water was discovered across much of the Fountain Valley. âWe were left sort of asking this question of, okay, if we canât grow produce what do we do,â said Sam Clark with the Pikes Peak Real Estate Foundation. Clark is part of the team working with the Pikes Peak Foundation to oversee the property.
