Spring is sprung... Rhubarb's Spring awakening.
It's that time of the year again. Spring seemed so far away during the winter but when it came it advanced like a rushing river! And it was early this year. Our temperatures have been well into the 70s since February following an incredibly dry winter (which seems to be the norm anymore!) and as the soil heated up, the farm became alive. Rhubarb and chard, strawberries, onions and herbs came out of hibernation early. Our tomato starts felt the warmth and grew at double speed needing to expand their roots in beds in early April, three weeks ahead of schedule. Who are we to argue with nature?

Feed Denver: Urban Farms & Markets inspires creative and successful urban agribusiness. Imagine farms in the city where people come to learn how to grow fresh food at high altitude, gain hands-on job training, and develop entrepreneurial skills that open avenues to self-sufficiency. Our farm-based training improves not only access to food, but develops economic opportunity and employment. Our farms are a diverse network of local fresh food production and direct markets, an incubation program for multi-cultural urban farmers and value-added producers, a regional research and training center, and host to courses and workshops, as well as a series of annual urban farming events.
The Feed Denver InPower Festival was a great success! It brought together the Greater Five Points Neighborhoods - Curtis Park, RiNo, Ball Park, and Upper Larimer at Sustainability Park to support and celebrate local and urban agriculture. Vibrant festival booths highlighted local producers of art and craft while a food truck rally supported and celebrated the conscious consumer movement.
