Our Gracious Hosts:
The Urban Farm at Stapleton (TUF) is hosting our project. The largest 4H program in Colorado, TUF
is an oasis in the city of Denver. On 23 acres this education center serves over 4,000 kids a year by
introducing and engaging them with horses, cows, sheep, goats, llama, alpaca, chickens, turkeys and a
few guinea fowl.
Their mission is to improve the lives of children living in high-risk, urbanized neighborhoods by helping
create a sense of positive self-regard and self-reliance, a strong work ethic, and hope.
Feed Denver: Urban Farms & Markets is a project of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center (CNDC). Feed Denver: Urban Farms & Markets/CNDC is an equal opportunity organization.
