DeLaney Community Farm

A project of Denver Urban Gardens, in partnership with the City of Aurora, DeLaney is organized as a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm easily accessible to the residents of Metro Denver.

The broad goals of DeLaney are to:

• provide healthy, locally produced food for people of all economic levels, including helping challenged populations improve their nutrition and their access to healthy food.
• use and model organic growing practices that protect our environment and reconnect people with the land that sustains them.
• provide nutrition education to all shareholders and involve them in DeLaney programs as partners in growing, preparing, cooking, tasting, sharing the produce they grow at DeLaney.

What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between a local farmer and the community, in which participants invest in an annual membership, to cover the farm’s production costs. In turn, members receive a weekly share of the harvest. This arrangement helps to guarantee the farm has a reliable source of support, while vegetables are grown and distributed in an economically viable and ecologically responsible manner. Ultimately, CSA creates communities, where farmers and members become partners in the production, distribution and consumption of locally grown food.

How to get involved:

• Learn about becoming a member of the DeLaney shareholder community
• Volunteer at DeLaney (May - October)
• Give the gift of fresh food to those in need by supporting the Community Partner Share program. One of the primary objectives of DeLaney is to help challenged populations improve their nutrition and their access to healthy food. Community Partner Shares (CPS) is a program that links DeLaney with low-income households and organizations serving these residents. Contact Heather DeLong to learn more about this program. 
• Schedule a tour to learn about DeLaney's history, programs and sustainable agriculture techniques.
• Grow your knowledge by attending a DeLaney workshop.
