The GoFarm Story
Eileen O’Rourke founded GoFarm as a nonprofit in 2014 with the vision of building a robust local food system that secures fair prices for farmers while building up sustainable agriculture and making healthy food more affordable and accessible to everyone in the community.
Today we have 5-full time staff members, and work hard everyday to strengthen our local food system and build healthier communities. We do this through three program areas: Farmer Assistance, Local Food Share, and Community Access. These programs are interdependent, working together to address critical gaps and barriers within the food chain.
Our Farmer Assistance program mentors and supports beginning farmers and builds up local, sustainable agriculture. Through the GoFarm Incubator we train and prepare farmer apprentices to run their own successful farm business. In addition, our Local Food Share provides a wholesale market option for apprentices as well as existing local farmers, providing a reliable sales avenue year after year.
Our Local Food Share (LFS) is where local agriculture meets community. Through the program we provide participants (shareholders) with a full season of fresh, sustainably-grown produce that we aggregate from our local farmers. Throughout the growing season shareholders pick up their weekly food shares from one of our three locations. We share recipes, stories about our farmers and the food grown in Colorado, and educate consumers on the benefits of buying local.
