- $250/month Gift = funds to provide a farm plot for a beginning farmer.
- $100/month Gift = funds to feed a family of 4 for the season.

If you cannot give monthly, one-time gifts are also greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support this giving season!
Learn more about GoFarm's programs:
- Community Food Access Program: We reduce barriers around accessing and affording local food and invite everyone to be part of their local food system. We run a mobile market shopping experience at sites where there are greater barriers to access fresh food. We offer a flexible pricing model so people can pay what works for them. Market sites include the Arvada, Head Start in Arvada, Eaton Senior Living Community, Juanita Nolasco Residences, and Littleton Hospital. GoFarm also provides fresh produce to local food banks, school organizations, and other partners who are addressing hunger in our community. GoFarm welcomes SNAP Benefits, Double Up Food Bucks, and offers a discount program.
- Farmer Development and Support Program: Support and training for beginning and local farmers who use sustainable growing practices. We help beginning farmers start or expand their own farm. We provide training, mentorship, business courses, technical assistance, access to land and water, and more! We also provide community building events for local farmers, and offer a tool rental library to help local farmers save farm costs. We champion sustainable growing practices that are good for our planet and our health, as well as promote racial equity within the local agriculture industry.
- Local Food Share Program: We connect over 800 community residents with a season's worth of fresh, locally-grown food every year. We partner with over 50 local farmers to provide food for our members, and we provide all the resources our members need to bring the food home and have fun preparing it!
