“In a farm share a “Member” buys a “Share” of a farmer’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season, and then comes to the farm each week to pick up their “Share” of the farm’s vegetable harvest or that share is bagged or boxed and delivered to the shareholder (There are a couple of farmers at the Stapleton farmers market that participate in farm shares).”

“[The Re:Farm Denver program’s] goal is to help low-income communities increase their self-sufficiency through empowering them with the resources to produce, distribute, and cook their own food. The program is built on a unique four pronged model which has gained national recognition: a centralized urban production farm(s) which doubles as a community training space; working with individual families who want to establish their own household garden; conducting multilingual community workshops on topics ranging from gardening 101 to composting and from nutrition and healthy lifestyles to how to cook what you grow; and finally, we accomplish all this by employing community members called promatoras to reach out to their peers, friends, family, and neighborhoods, empowering them with in-depth trainings and courses so they can educate their communities.”
