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.

Please keep a lookout!! 👀 Our beloved "Veggie Bike"-- a custom e-trike made for us by to serve as a mobile donation-based farm stand-- has been stolen from !!!

Last seen Wednesday night. It was locked to itself in our farm stand location at the SW corner of the school building on Niagara Street between Virginia and Center Ave. It did not have its battery and without that we suspect it would be difficult to ride it very far.

Sprout City Farms is an urban agriculture nonprofit that has operated a community farm at Denver Green School since 2011. We give over half of our harvest to food access programs that serve the community. This bike was not only an investment for our org but it was also custom-designed and wrapped with local youth artwork-- it is one-of-a-kind.

Denver community, please keep a look out and let us know if you spot it! You can message us here, call 720-239-2714, or email [email protected].

Ecosystem appreciation post 🎉😁🥳
***Happy Ecosystem***

At our Agrivoltaic site in Longmont we have an incredibly diverse ecosystem.

The panels not only keep us farmers nice and cool but it also creates a home for so many little and big critters!! 🐝🐞🦋🦗🐕🐑🦆🦆🦆

With the increased shade and all the grass edges around the panels; it truly creates a haven for a bunch of animals.

From rabbits, snakes, birds, bees, praying mantis and more; these critters thrive here right along the farmers and visitors at Jacks.

We all have a ton of fun seeing and finding all the visitors that come to the farm. It’s not just humans stopping by but hundreds of different insect species.

Some destroy our crops (grasshoppers) but also provide food for our duck friends. Others are incredibly beneficial at controlling over populated visitors (rabbits/snakes)
And without our pollinator friends we wouldn’t have the abundance of veggies that we do have 🐝🦋🐞🐜

So here’s to all that contribute to this beautiful ecosystem we get to steward this 2025 season

What do you get when it rains potatoes? Spuddles! 🥔🥔🥔
🎉We’re getting the first harvests of our potatoes from the research beds here at Jack’s, and it’s starting to feel like it’s raining potatoes.

The research team, in partnership with the University of Arizona, is following 15 varieties of 7 different crops this season, looking at how the crops grow with varying amounts of sunlight and water.

Last week, our crew helped our Research Manager harvest a few beds of a variety the researchers are tracking called Purple Majesty. It’s always fascinating comparing the harvests across the different treatments, and now we’ve got “spuddles” of these gorgeous purple tubers! Keep an eye out for what we harvest next from our research beds!

We’ve had some amazing Lunch & Learns so far this summer at !

Thank you to Karim Gharbi, Horticulture Agent and Entomologist Extraordinaire of , for a very informative Insects 101 workshop where we learned about our friends and foes in the insect world! On our bug walk in the field we found 7 types of beetle (Rabbitbrush beetle, Three-lined Potato beetle, Sutured Longhorn beetle, Milkweed Longhorn beetle, a rare Ladybug, Japanese beetle, and Flea beetle), a Bee Fly, a Gossamer-Winged Butterfly, a Leafhopper, a Parasitic Fly, a Parasitic Wasp, and many more… 🐞🐛🐜🪲🪳

And thank you to Janelle Sowers , fiber artist, teacher, and former farm intern, for a wonderful Natural Dye-Making workshop where we learned about the plants she has installed in our Dye Garden (including indigo!) and how to use them in coloring different kinds of fabrics! 🎨🫟🌱

The next Lunch & Learn at is an Herbalism and Flower Essence workshop this Friday from noon to 1pm— bring a lunch and join us! *Better yet, come volunteer from 10-12 and stay for the workshop 😇
