CSA Programs near Elizabeth, CO

Elizabeth

Elbert

We specialize in the preservation and promotion of the endangered heritage breeds and heirloom varieties that have sustained us for countless generations. These heritage breeds and heirloom varieties have retained the vigor and flavor that have been unfortunately sacrificed with the advent of modern factory production. Our chickens are Free Range and Cage Free. Our produce is pesticide and herbicide free grown in a sustaining way consistent with organic principles. We are located in Elbert, Colorado and all of our produce is grown locally.

Larkspur

SEDALIA

Seven miles west of Castle Rock in the Plum Creek valley, this Certified Naturally Grown family farm has been growing vegetables since 2004, later adding local meat and dairy. Members join a Community Harvest Hub for weekly shares, with pickup locations across the Denver metro area, a CSA model built for people who don't live close enough to drive out to Sedalia every week.

Aurora

Colorado Springs

This aquaponics greenhouse in Black Forest, north of Colorado Springs, grows several lettuce varieties, butterhead, red oak, and others, using 90% less water and 75% less energy than soil farming, according to the farm. Produce sells at the farm stand and through wholesale delivery. Through their Lettuce Help Our Neighbor program, they donate more than 7,000 heads a month to local food pantries, and open the greenhouse for public tours on Wednesday afternoons.

Aurora

This CSA grows seven acres of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit at Denver Botanic Gardens' Chatfield Farms site, the first CSA program run by a botanic garden in the country. It started in 2010 with a three-year Kaiser Permanente grant and now grows more than 100 vegetable and herb varieties, with partner farms adding egg and fruit shares. Distribution runs farmers-market style at two sites, Chatfield in Littleton and the York Street garden in Denver, so members pick their own produce.
