Grant Farms CSA

As someone who grew up in Denver and saw the disappearance of little farms all over the state over the past few decades, I was grateful to find out about Grant Farms when I attended a presentation by a representative of the farm at the Denver Botanic Gardens in '08. I got together with friends to split a share and LOVED the flavor and quality of the produce week after week last season, and, since I live in an apartment, I have no garden of my own, so have signed up again for the '09 season. I don't understand that negative review, but assume it's probably the result of the (no doubt surprising for some folks) learning curve one must be willing to get on to change from a diet based on habit/convenience to one centered on and intimately connected with seasonal, locally grown produce. I have volunteered on a CSA (in NM) and know the hard work, but also the delight and dedication, involved in localizing the food economy and took a tour of the Grant Farm last year and was very impressed with everything I saw, from the happy chickens to the passion of Lewis Grant, the owner. I used to live near an 'egg farm' that made me never want to touch another egg or chicken, but the Grant farm showed me how raising food CAN be done in a MUCH more conscious manner than what most people take for granted is the system we're just stuck with. I'd encourage anyone to tour this or any other CSA to fuel your enthusiasm and inspiration for good, healthy food that tastes better and builds community. Bon apetit!!
