FarmStrong Spring Festival
Save the date! On Saturday, April 15th, RGCF will be throwing a celebration of spring, with a plant sale, beer, live music, food trucks, family activities and more.
About the FestivalPlant Starts
We raised these babies in our greenhouse at Rio Grande Community Farm because we want to share local food that is truly local, and to spread it across the region.
Grow some of our finest crops in your garden, and bring a bit of the community farm to your home.

Community Garden Rows
With a new year comes a new growing season. RGCF’s community garden is tucked in the North West corner of the Los Poblanos Open Space, and boasts some of the best views in the city.
We irrigate regularly, and provide manure, tools, mulch, seeds, and other supplies to gardeners.
Reserve your rows while they last.
Farm Market Stand now at Rio Grande Community Farm
Find our micro-farmers selling a variety of offerings at two new farm market stands at Rio Grande Community Farm!
8am – 11am | second and fourth Sundays starting in June.
You can find the farmers in the Los Poblanos Open Space parking lot off of Montaño.
Merch
Farm-chic and forever in style, RGCF merch is as much at home in a brewery as it is in the barn.
Our apparel is locally designed, durable enough for the barnyard, and comfortable enough for endless video calls.
Sporting our t-shirts, hoodies, hats, totes and bandanas is a great way to show your support for the farm, and to support our local business partners.
