About the Farm

Background

Golden Acre Farm has grown from a small, 2-acre operation to encompass three sites in Golden and Lakewood. Known for its commitment to local, organic food, the farm has doubled its growing space since 2020 and continues to support the Denver Metro Area with fresh produce. The farm has a strong community presence, partnering with local organizations and donating significant amounts of food to local food pantries and cafes.

Practices

Using proven organic growing methods, Golden Acre Farm focuses on increasing access to local organic foods. The farm encourages visits, hires apprentices, and hosts a large CSA. Their philosophy is encapsulated in their motto: 'Keep it local, Keep it organic, Keep it personal.' The farm's practices are designed to move away from the industrial food model, promoting small-scale farming techniques and growing strategies.

The Rest

Golden Acre Farm's products are featured in various restaurants around the Denver Metro Area, and they participate in the Old South Pearl Street Market. The farm offers a CSA program that provides members with a share of the weekly harvest, including vegetables, fruits, and herbs. CSA members also gain access to products from other local farmers, such as meat and honey. The farm's commitment to community is evident in their partnerships and donations, including 700 pounds of food donated last year.
