Sprout City Farms Cultivating educational urban farms to engage & strengthen communities, and root farmers in the city

Mission & Vision

Sprout City Farms builds educational urban farms to engage communities, strengthen neighborhood resiliency, and root farmers in the city. We envision a thriving local food system supported by a network of accessible city farms which nourish, and are nourished by, their surrounding communities. Our farms serve as a platform for education, health, food justice advocacy, ecological

stewardship, community wealth building, vocational training, and neighborhood resiliency. Guiding Principles

Sprout City Farms believes that a thriving local food system is the foundation for healthy, resilient communities. We strive to ensure food-secure communities by developing and strengthening the local food system. We believe in…

Creating opportunities for residents of our farm communities to have equal access to fresh produce and the knowledge of how to produce it themselves. Caring for the land we farm in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible way, focusing on small-scale organic methods that encourage biodiversity, soil building, pollinator protection, and cultural heritage. Cultivating engaging community spaces where residents of all ages come together to build relationships around food. Creating opportunities for urban farmers to make a living growing food for their communities. Conserving scarce urban lands and/or maximize the potential of underutilized urban land for food production. Developing and leading a coalition of urban agriculture organizations to grow the local food movement and form a training pipeline for aspiring farmers and food systems advocates. We recognize that Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Tséstho’e (Cheyenne), hinono’eino’ biito’owu’ (Arapaho), and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ peoples are the traditional stewards of the unceded lands we are farming.

What a fantastic time sharing space with over 36 members of the community this past weekend! We held our second Listening Session on Saturday, grounding our work in community-driven solutions for a more equitable and local fresh food system, and in Spanish language no less! Let’s continue to explore ways of serving the neighborhood at our Mountair Park Community Farm location in Lakewood!

Shout-out to for arranging interpretation and helping us to exercise Language Justice.

¡Qué fantástico fue compartir espacio con más de 36 miembros de la comunidad el fin de semana pasado! El sábado celebramos nuestra segunda Charla Comunitaria, centrando nuestro trabajo en soluciones impulsadas por la comunidad para un sistema de alimentos frescos más equitativo y local, ¡y nada menos que en español! Sigamos explorando maneras de servir al vecindario en nuestra Granja Comunitaria de Mountair Park en Lakewood.

¡Muchas gracias a por gestionar la interpretación y ayudarnos a ejercer la justicia lingüística!

Right here in our community, the food pantry run out of DGS is working tirelessly to make sure our neighbors have access to the nutritious food they need.

But they can't do it alone. With rising costs, and SNAP in limbo their shelves need our support more than ever. A donation of any size makes a real, immediate difference.

➡️ Please consider chipping in. The link to donate is in our bio! ⬆️

Every dollar helps fill a plate and strengthen our community. Thank you for your generosity. ❤️

We grew flowers this year!!! 🌸💐🌻
at our Longmont location!!

Our new farm crew member Audrey led the way with her extensive knowledge of growing cut flowers!! We had a handful of new beds we added to the farm that were covered cropped last year and Audrey turned them into beautiful beds of flowers 💪🏽🌷💐

Slide over to see the progression!! 🛝➡️
From cover crop, to tarping, to bcs prep, to greenhouse planting, transplanting, weeding, covering, harvesting and finally bouquet making!!

It has been so special to watch our CSA members go out and cut their own flowers at our CSA pick up and also bringing them to the Saturday Longmont Farmers market! Flowers truly bring so much joy to the community and our little but very important pollinators 🐝🪰🦋

We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! And they’re still producing! Our Fridays have now begun with a bit more sunshine as we harvest flowers as a team and then we end the day making bouquets for the market. Truly special.

Come grab some this Saturday

Thank you Farmer Audrey!!
