About the Program: 

Sprout City Farms cultivates urban farms on underutilized land, rooting community farms in the city and bringing good food to neighborhoods.  In the spring of 2011, Sprout City Farms established a one-acre farm site on the grounds of The Denver Green School in Southeast Denver.  Launching the "Farm to Cafeteria" program, the farm provides: 

  • Fresh vegetables and herbs to the school cafeteria
  • A Community Supported Agriculture and School Farm Stand for the neighborhood and school community
  • Food and farm-related education for youth and adults
  • A Summer Internship program
  • Produce donations to local food banks and qualifying familes

Sprout City Farms envisions a thriving local food system within the Denver metro area supported by a network of accessible city farms which nourish, and are nourished by, their surrounding community.
