Meg Caley (she/her/ella)
Sprout City Farms
Co-Founder & Executive Director

Meg has a passion for bringing people together in the field and around the table, growing food and community simultaneously. The food system is a good lens for looking at all the inequities present in our society, and Meg sees community-scale farming as one platform for building an inclusive and just world for us all. She has been working on a variety of farms since graduating college in 2005, has experience as a classroom and outdoor educator, and loves helping children and adults alike discover their new favorite vegetable. She moved to Denver in 2008 after living and working as Head Cheesemaker at Cherry Grove Farm, a grassfed meat and dairy in central New Jersey.  Meg has enjoyed her work in Colorado over the past decade+ on various farm operations, both rural and urban. She believes that farmers have a crucial role to play in setting policies and programs to further the sustainable food movement, and sits on the Denver Sustainable Food Policy Council (mayoral appointee), Jefferson County Food Policy Council, Denver Community Food Access Coalition, and is on the leadership board (and founding member) of the Mile High Farmers, a co-chapter of Rocky Mountain Farmers Union and National Young Farmers Coalition. Meg is thrilled to be developing Sprout City Farms to work towards a thriving local food system in the Denver metro area: sprouting city farms, rooting city farmers, and reconnecting folks to the land and food that sustain them.

As “founder and farmer-in-chief,” Meg managed the Denver Green School Community Farm from 2010-2018, and now oversees the strategic direction for all of SCF’s farm sites.
