DeLaney Community Farm

DeLaney Community Farm is a partnership between Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) and Project Worthmore (PWM).

Our mission at DeLaney is to support refugees through sustainable agriculture and community building. The primary goals of DeLaney are to:
• Provide the space, support, resources, and expertise for refugees to grow healthy, organically-produced food for themselves and their broader community;
• Foster community development and integration through education and training programs, and relations

hip building;
• Connect refugees to the local fresh food economy through meaningful and dignified experiences;
• Demonstrate small-scale, sustainable agricultural practices that reconnect refugees with the land in a productive and environmentally responsible manner.

It’s the time of the flowers on the farm. A sign of the fruits (vegetables) to come!

There’s something like a silent song in flowers, an understood gesture of what’s to come next. A part of an unfolding process that only time can help along. For now only waiting... and weeding. 🌸

Flowers Pictured:
Summer Squash; Bindweed; Thistle; Cucumber; Calendula (more bindweed); Echinacea;
Bean

In addition to our members the bags go to single mothers in the Project Worthmore community. It’s important for us to reach as many folks in the community & beyond as possible. Good fresh food is so important!

Following some much needed moisture, everything on the farm got a little kick-start(including our spirits) & now the heat is on! Everything is getting BIG & we’re almost ready for our first harvest. Although the farm & crew have had some big changes, there’s big-good energy from the team going into the farm & lots of big laughs. Surely shaping up to be a fine season! Stay tuned...

Delaney Updates. Fall lettuce mix, winter squash, cover crops, and so much more.

Fall Equinox arrives during unseasonably warm weather. Anticipating cooler high plain winds.

Amazing how quickly seasons turn- as we finish up the last two weeks of our csa we are already dreaming and scheming of what is to come.

If you are looking to support our farm and your health, check out our bio for availability for our Friday on farm pickup! We will be selling into the early winter months with lots of storage crops🌾

Nothing happens on a farm without a dedicated, intelligent and cohesive team of farmers.

Pronie is returning for her second year. Klaw-Reh and JC are joining us for their first. They make it happen.

The farm is picking up steam and we are excited to be working this land together 🌾

Our beautiful seedlings at DeLaney Community Farm 🌱With a little bit of time and a lot of love from our farmers, these will allow us to provide refugee families and our greater community with fresh produce. Thank you to Pickens Technical College and the Mental Health Center of Denver's Dahlia Campus for our plant starters.
