Local Food Organizations

Peak To Plains Alliance

Slow Food Colorado Springs

Care and Share
food bank for southern Colorado

Pikes Peak Urban Gardens
Our mission is to cultivate community through organic gardening
and sustainable urban farm projects in the Pikes Peak region.

Community Supported Agriculture

is a system by which eaters are more involved with food growers.
Notice I didn't say suppliers, the intent is for you to be closer to the
source of your daily bread. It's an awesome feeling to actually know the
farmer who grows your food.

CSA's come in several forms, the closest connection you can have with your
farmer/rancher is to buy a share in their operation. You get a percentage
of the harvest but also share in the risk of things like frosts and hail.
