The Table Urban Farm – a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit – has been growing food organically in Denver since 2012. Each year has seen the development of new and improved ways of growing and distributing food, supporting our communities, and embodying grace in the city.

We grow all of our produce in South Denver neighborhoods,  transport and distribute harvests by bicycle, and use only organic growing techniques. The food grown is local and organic. We grow on a few previously under utilized plots of land.

100% of the food we grow is donated back to our communities. To make that possible, we run a community led ambassador program to help farm and distribute food and flowers.  The community’s time, energy, and resources help engage neighbors with authentic community, nourishment, and tangible grace. You to participate in our community events and have a taste of what we’re growing!

Community-Led Farming Initiative

Established in 2011 The Table What is The Table? Community. Nourishment. Grace. These three values are found most tangibly at the table as we eat, have conversation, and extend hospitality. The Table 1 offers these through our non-profit farm, The Table Public House, and The Table Community Church.

Table FAQS. What started first: The Farm or The Public House? The Table Urban Farm started in 2012. The Farm opened The Table Public House in 2021. Where is The Farm? The Table doesn't own any land other than The Public House. While we do some farming at our plot at the Public House, we mostly farm on shared plots around the city that have been offered by neighbors and community partners to grow produce and flowers.

What's the story behind The Table Urban Farm? The Table Urban Farm was founded in 2012 by Craig and Jeanine Broek. They desired to live out their values and faith, facilitate opportunities for community, offer nourishment, and extend tangible grace to the people they met. We believe that the values of community, nourishment, and grace are found at the table as we eat, have conversation, and extend hospitality. Prior to opening The Public House, all activities of The Table were conducted out of the Broeks' home, in gardens, neighborhood parks, backyards, front yards, wine shops, church basements, and breweries in the community. We aim to help people eat well, experience life-giving and authentic community, and explore the depth and breadth of tangible grace. How is The Farm funded? The Farm operates through generous donations from individuals, faith communities, corporate sponsors, fundraisers, and grants.

How is The Public House connected to The Farm? In 2021, the Table Public House opened as the physical home of The Table Urban Farm. In this space, The Table lives out the mission of building community, feeding people well, and extending tangible grace through activities such as the distribution produce from the Farm's gardens. Any profits from The Public House help to support this mission. In 2024, The Table worked with mission-minded investors, donors, and neighbors to purchase The Public House building as its permanent home. How is produce distributed? At The Table's community farming approach is "grow together, share the harvest." Produce from our community gardens is available at the #SowItForward veggie cooler at the Public House and produce is also shared with community partners like food banks and schools. Produce may also be used to create dishes in the Public House kitchen.
Is the produce only for those who are unhoused? Produce and flowers from the Farm's gardens are for everyone. Food is best received when you know the recipient and how they can receive it. We invite anyone to come get food or flowers. We challenge everyone to "sow it forward", in some way, either with the food (bringing healthy snacks to work, sharing a meal with a neighbor in need), or with time or finances. Does the farm produce food year-round? The farming season in this region is from mid-May to mid-October. Growing food outside is impacted by the weather. Conditions like the air and soil temperatures, rain and snow, sun and clouds all impact how plants grow. We do not own any greenhouses that would extend the growing season. Are volunteers paid? No. However, we have an ambassador program which offers a monthly stipend in exchange for a weekly commitment to the farm. Ambassador applications are on our website.
How can I get involved? Go to www.denvertable.org/getinvolved to see a list of ways to get involved. Some include Corporate Sponsorships, our Farmette Program and our Community Ambassador Program. Volunteers are welcome to stop by during our posted work hours at each plot. Those hours and locations will be posted on our website, social media, and at the Public House. Our work is seasonal, running from May - October.
