Sprout City Farms
In the spring of 2011, Sprout City Farms began to establish and maintain a one-acre farm site on the DGS school grounds. Working in collaboration with DGS and Denver Urban Gardens the farm provides:
- Fresh veggies and herbs to the school cafeteria
- A CSA program and school farm stand for the neighborhood residents and school community. Please read our brochure to find out more about getting your own CSA share!
- Food- and farm-related education programs for youth and adults
- Summer internship program
- Hands-on volunteer opportunities
- Produce donations to local food banks and qualifying families
