We are so excited to announce our bid with Denver Parks and Recreation to convert an underutilized lot in the Villa Park neighborhood was approved and we will be opening a new urban farm at Osceola Park!
We are so thankful for our partnerships with the Office of Councilwoman Jamie Torres , Denver Health , and the Villa Park Neighborhood Association for making this possible. We look forward to working with more residents of Southwest Denver with our mission to work with communities historically impacted by social inequities to develop resident leaders, cultivate community food systems, and create an economy owned by the community. This expansion will activate an under-utilized lot owned by Denver Parks and Rec and convert the space into an urban farm with family gardens with the capacity to grow an additional 2,500 pounds of food for residents of Southwest Denver. Produce harvested on this lot will be distributed to residents by CSA food boxes distributed at the Denver Community Health Centers and to Villa Park community members in partnership with Villa Park Neighborhood Association.
We will continue to post updates on the new urban farms’ transformation. We appreciate all your support!

In Latinx cultures across the Americas, “Buen Provecho” is more than just a phrase; it’s a heartfelt wish for happiness in the simple pleasure of enjoying a meal. Derived from the word “aprovechar,” meaning “to make the most of it,” it’s a fitting motto for our evening.

Con este gran paso, estamos listos para cultivar más comida, crear más trabajos y dar más espacio a nuestros jóvenes para aprender y involucrarse con la comunidad.
Queremos dar un gran agradecimiento a nuestros increíbles socios que estuvieron con nosotros y que aportaron un granito para realizar este sueno

We're sowing seeds in our family gardens and in the Re:Vision team!
Mirian Araiza, our awesome Promotora Manager, is leading the training of four new promotoras who just joined our team. Mirian is guiding them through our urban agriculture curriculum and preparing them to lead their own group of family gardens this season.
Just as planting a seed and nurturing it with care and love allows it to sprout and grow, the Re:Vision team hires and trains Latina neighborhood leaders as promotoras who then pass on their knowledge and provide support to Southwest Denver families who are experiencing food insecurity.
Later, Latina leaders from those families have the opportunity to join us as promotoras, completing and continuing the cycle of Latina Leadership through collective knowledge. That's what life, community, and yes, gardening, are all about. 🌱✨
¿Cuántas plántulas tenemos este año?
13,697! 🌱
Una decisión que tomamos hace dos años nos permite ser más independientes hoy.
En el pasado, solíamos comprar todas nuestras plántulas a otros cultivadores, y funcionaba bien para nosotros. Pero hace dos años decidimos hacer un cambio. Transformamos una parte de nuestra oficina en un invernadero para lanzar nuestro programa de aprendizaje juvenil Semillas de Agua Westwood.
Ahora, en lugar de comprar plántulas cada año, transformamos nuestra última compra de plántulas en un programa sostenible donde jóvenes locales participan en cada paso del proceso, desde plantar semillas hasta cuidar las plantas hasta que estén listas para jardines familiares y nuestras granjas urbanas.
Nuestros jóvenes contratados están aprendiendo habilidades valiosas mientras contribuyen a alimentar a nuestra comunidad. Están involucrados en todo el proceso.
¡Un gran agradecimiento a nuestros aprendices juveniles de Semillas de Agua Westwood, a la Directora de Educación Mayra Olivas, y a la Coordinadora de Educación Alma Saenz! ¡No podríamos hacerlo sin ustedes! ❤️

On Valentine's Day, we teamed up with Denver Health to bring the Women's Mobile Clinic to the Re:Vision campus. Screening for breast and cervical cancer is crucial, but accessing health care is a challenge for many in our community. The Women's Mobile Clinic plus our weekly visits from the Denver Health primary care mobile unit bridges this gap by bringing preventive services to underserved communities even connecting them to additional diagnostics that same day. #Denver #Westwood #Health
