Randall Park Neighborhood Farm

Are you interested in joining the local food movement? Do you want to eat delicious, nutritious food grown in your neighborhood?

Growing local food is more than just gardening. It takes planning, organizing, and a willingness to work together. It takes hands in the ground and all around.

Why it’s important to grow local food?
Uncertainty in supply chains, the price of organic produce, a need for more physical activities, a desire for a connection with people and nature, environmental concerns – growing your food and participating in community projects helps address these concerns.

About the Randall Park Neighborhood Farm

Help imagine and shape neighborhood supported agriculture. The lot at Randall Park is the next community garden development opportunity in Wheat Ridge.

Back in 2021, the City of Wheat Ridge purchased Mr. Randall’s house. In a survey at that time residents asked for a community garden focused on education and run by the city. In 2022, the house was demolished, and we applied for a USDA grant to build a greenhouse and education center to support our Regenerate Wheat Ridge program. Unfortunately, we did not receive the grant but do still have our eyes set on a community greenhouse (in the future).

We still want to use this space for community food production. With the support of Mile High Farmers, we are looking to create a different version of community garden. Over at Happiness Garden, the city’s first community garden, the land is divided into 50 individual plots and rented out to 50 residents. The land at Randall is different and needs a different vision. What would happen if we kept it one plot and residents worked together to grow food for themselves and the neighborhood? Would you help?
