Urban Agriculture

At The Urban Farm at Stapleton, there is a little bit of “country” for every age and inclination. We inspire excitement for learning through practical work experience in a farm setting that fosters respect, responsibility, curiosity, caring and grit in kids and parents alike.

Where else can a kid learn firsthand about sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry or how to spin wool without leaving the comforts of Denver? How about experiencing the connection of horse and rider or the warmth of a freshly-laid egg?

Want a beautiful Central Texas garden that is good for your pocketbook and for the environment?
