Our Farm

At the UCCS Farm, our mission is to cultivate a regenerative oasis within our urban landscape, fostering experiential education and sustainable practices for our community. Through diverse programming, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to become stewards of the land, promoting environmental sustainability and healthy living. Our commitment to organic farming practices not only nourishes our bodies but also educates future generations about the importance of responsible agriculture. Together, we strive to cultivate a thriving ecosystem where urban living harmonizes with nature, creating a greener, healthier, and more vibrant community for all.
