About

Oak Acres is in its first year growing on a diversified urban farm, just under 1/2 acre in west Arvada. Season extension growing methods allow a variety of produce to be harvested on a continual basis, spring through fall. Vegetable varieties are selected that are nutrient dense and regionally adapted to promote food security and sustainability for future generations. Eggs and value added cottage food products are also included and are in development.

Oak Acres is a female owned, LGBT+ & hyper local small business that uses slow food, low impact, human- powered means of production and produce is grown using organic methods (not certified organic).
