Welcome to Acres
Acres Farm started as the farm part of farm-to-table for The Squeaky Bean in Denver. As sous chef and part owner of the restaurant, Josh Olsen reached out to Warren Tech with a big vision.
Olsen saw an opportunity to revive the old horticultural program facilities and get a farm for the restaurant. He also had a vision of connecting farmers, educators, and chefs to teach students what it takes to get food from the farm to the table.
The future is farming. No farms, no food. And to farm, we need clean water, healthy soil, and human power. Students at acres are learning innovative techniques and approaches to urban farming and the importance of soil conservation and maintenance.
The farm boasts a hydroponic freight farm built from a recycled shipping container and a climate battery greenhouse build in partnership with the Colorado School of Mines.
