Board members raising money for GoFarm!

Our giving goal this year as a board is $10,000, and every donation, no matter the size, will help us get one step closer! GoFarm is dear to our hearts, and we care deeply about supporting this nonprofit's mission to train and support local farmers, connect people with local agriculture, and increase equitable access to nutrient-rich food grown in Colorado. 

Giving a monthly gift today can have the following impacts throughout the year:

• $500/month Gift = funds to provide scholarships for 2 under resourced farmers.
• $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.
• $50/month Gift = funds for gas and maintenance for our Mobile Market (Chuck the Truck) 
• $25/month Gift = funds to feed 1 person for the season.
• $10/month Gift = funds to cover the cost of one of our farmer training workshops.

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: CFA 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: FDS is helping to develop the next generation of farmers. We train and support new and aspiring farmers in regenerative agriculture, with a focus on people from historically marginalized groups like BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, women and immigrants. 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.
  In 2024, FDS trained 25 beginning farmers and contracted with 40 established local farmers and subject experts to provide mentorship support. 
• Local Food Share Program: LFS utilizes a multi-farm, membership-based community-supported agriculture model. Shareholders pay for a full 20-week season of food produced by local farmers and from our own Incubator Farmers. Members pick up weekly food shares, try new recipes, and interact with the GoFarm community. LFS also supports local vendors by providing free vendor space to community members to build their network even further with an established customer base.
  In addition to building a more community-centered local food system, we are providing food with the optimal nutritional density and less of a carbon footprint, versus produce that is purchased by grocery stores that has traveled thousands of miles and has been ripened with artificial light.
