First Ave Farm

1st Ave Farm is a hyper-local, family-run urban farm on an 8,000-square-foot neighborhood lot just east of Denver’s urban center. The farm aims to support a more localized food chain and economy while sharing practical knowledge from its experience establishing and operating an urban growing space. Its website offers cost-friendly, do-it-yourself tips and lessons for people interested in gardening and small-scale farming.

Services include garden coaching for those planning a garden, troubleshooting growing challenges, expanding an existing space, or creating more sustainable care systems. Sessions are available virtually for customers in any location or in person in Denver and Aurora, Colorado. The farm also offers bite-sized online mini-courses. Its articles cover topics such as drought-conscious gardening, seasonal growing, and the costs and work involved in keeping chickens, drawing on the farm’s own experience. Through its coaching, courses, and educational content, 1st Ave Farm helps gardeners find useful, approachable ways to develop their growing skills.
