Year-End Giving for 2024!

Colorado Gives Day is coming up on December 10th, and we are asking for community support for our year-end giving campaign!

We hope to raise at least $10,000 to be able to re-launch Mountair Park Community Farm in 2025!

We truly believe that it takes a village to raise a chard ;) We invite you to take your involvement a step further by investing in the work we do. A more community-rooted local food system involves all of us!

After our 14th season of nourishing our community, you can nourish us in return by donating today!

Buy a Book for the DGS Farm Library!

As a part of our education programming, we are building an on-farm children’s library at the Denver Green School Community Farm! We are looking to create a space full of books about farming and nature with diverse representation, so that our students can read about nature while in nature!

Our primary teaching modality has been hands-on farming activities, but with the addition of this library, the students will now also visit a reading station when they come out to the farm. Please support our work by adding nature and food literacy books to our library collection.

Every donated book creates countless opportunities for students to have “aha” moments, create personal connections to the topics we are learning about, build a culture of belonging in nature, and foster love and care for nature. Plus you will be supporting one of our favorite local book stores in Denver, The Bookies. On behalf of our students and our community, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
