Update











Things have been very busy with Produce Denver! The harvest has been great so far and has included lettuce, kale, chard, collards, chives, oregano, basil, sage, roses, carrots, peas, beets, radishes, turnips, potatoes, broccoli, and zucchini. We have actually had a lot of excess which has been sold to Beet Box (serves great vegan food at Highlands and South Pearl Farmers Markets) and Satchels Market in Park Hill. Additionally, we donated 10 pounds of chard, kale, and radishes to SAME Cafe last week.

We set up a new beehive last week with a swarm from one of our friend's hives. They seem to be doing well so far. Looking forward to some honey!

Nick and Meg went to the DBG Rooftop Garden Symposium in June. They learned a lot and have already begun to use some of the methods at the rooftop garden at 1515 restaurant. Thanks to DBG for hosting the event.

We are currently planning for our fall planting, preparing for weddings and harvest events, doing tax/business nonsense, looking for BIG pieces of land, collaborating with some folks as the Denver Urban Farmers Collaborative, and taking on and looking for more edible landscaping projects. Please hit us up if you can help!

As usual, thanks so much to the volunteers and those that have been letting us give their plants new homes.
