Setting

The Urban Farm is located on a 23 acre parcel of land in the Stapleton neighborhood. Sand Creek Greenway with miles of multi-use trails and nature centers is adjacent to The Farm. More than 200 farm animals are housed on site and children have direct involvement in their care and feeding.

History

The Farm was founded almost 15 years ago with the purpose of providing agricultural opportunities for highly urbanized children and youth. Almost 3000 children per year participate in our programs.
