Feed Denver's Farms & Markets
Sunnyside Farm at 44th & VallejoWith our team of New American Farmers we have built a farm on an abandoned gas station lot and now we are growing fresh vegetables. Since early June the farm has taken shape. The beds are solid and the the harvest is building each week.
Fresh vegetable market and programs have begun on Wednesday evenings and will continue while there is produce. Feel free to drop by if you're in the neighborhood. Pick up a few squash or tomatoes, some basil for pesto, or lemon balm for tea. If we're there we're open for business. |
Parking Lot Farm[Sadly, we had to close our Parking Lot Farm in 2011]
Hey Joni Mitchell! We took that parking lot and turned it into paradise again! Beep! Beep! Now it grows food, supports farmers and provides a fresh vegetable market for the neighborhood! The beds are strong and the plants are taking over once more. Herbs and tomatoes, squash and corn. Our markets have begun. We'll be there each Thursday evening while there is produce so stop by if you're around...we'll be happy to sell you some fresh produce grown in your own neighborhood! |
Our Projects
The New American ProgramSome of the first people displaced by disaster, war, and violence around the world are farmers. These farmers often find themselves relocated to urban areas without understanding the local language or culture but hoping for a better future.
After up to 20 years in a refugee camp in Nepal, these folks have been resettled in Denver. Feed Denver partners with local refugee services agencies to provide work experience training for recent refugee arrivals to Denver. We provide American job aculturation while teaching urban farming skills. As with the immigrants of past centuries, these farmers are the future urban farmers of America. Learn more |
Feed Denver+ArchitectureThere's something interesting happening between architects and farmers. From the Univerisity of Colorado at Denver Architecture Design/Build Class to Architecture for Humanity of Denver, the conversation about localizing food we've been having at Feed Denver has attracted the attention of the design and planning worlds.
