About Lost Greens Farm
Lost Greens is a pesticide free, urban farm project located in Denver, Colorado. All of our crops are grown with regenerative organic practices in mind, meaning we grow pesticide-free and chemical-free food.
This means the soil your food grows in is really alive! You can’t beat the taste of food like this.
We grow custom salad green blends and short season crops. We’ll be back at the Highlands Farmers’ Market in Spring (And it’s our fourth year running!) We are also opening a new Saturday Farm-stand onsite at our Gilpin St location (3701 Gilpin St 80205).
The farm was started by by Samuel Jones in 2020, and is guided by the philosophical concept of right action. There is no scarcity so fierce that it should require us to harm the earth or one another to take care of ourselves. Farming using restorative practices is part of changing our everyday lives to change the world. Local farming restores communities, ecosystems, and the individuals connected to it.
We started in a humble 1000sq ft back yard in the Globeville neighborhood when 7 of Sam’s friends signed up for his experimental CSA to help him cover the costs of the project.
Four years later, we are now growing on close to a quarter acre in the historic Cole Neighborhood. With this growing space we are able to serve 35 CSA members, including 10 CSA work-trade volunteer members. We are also able to offer workshops to community members teaching various aspects of Denver gardening and farming.
Equally important are the many parts of nature working in harmony with us - beneficial insects and animals, microbial life in the soil, the sun and the rain. As soon as you grow food, you realize how much we are sustained by interdependent systems here on earth.
We offer a variety of vegetables at the Highlands Farmers market, and donate food regularly to SAMe Cafe in Denver as well as on occasion to the Denver Free Fridges and the BirdSeed Collective in Globeville.
In 2022, the farm paused operations as Sam needed to recover from health complications due to Covid-19, and later long-covid, which severely impacted his body.
In 2023 Lost Greens returned to the flagship field on Gilpin St, which was graciously cared for and used as a community farm and garden space by Metro Caring while Sam recovered.
It’s truly an honor to grow living food for our community, and Lost Greens takes it commitment to regenerative agriculture seriously. We are able to grow food thanks to our supportive CSA members, customers, and the community members who share their land with us.
