Throughout the summer in the Golden, CO area, you might see a big box truck full of local fresh vegetables hosting a pay-what-you can farmer\u2019s market. Affectionately called Chuck, GoFarm\u2019s<\/a> mobile market truck travels to low-income neighborhoods, schools, retirement homes, mobile home communities and more. It offers local produce that GoFarm sources from 80 to 90 farms every season, including small-scale urban farms, large family-owned farms and beginning farmers going through their incubator program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is a strong, resilient, environmentally sustainable and equitable local food system,\u201d says Virginia Ortiz, GoFarms<\/a> executive director.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ortiz sees GoFarm\u2019s role as a hub that takes care of the logistics of supporting small farms and feeding the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building community partnerships is a crucial element, and GoFarm works with other food access organizations such as Hunger Free Golden and JeffCo Food Policy Council to reach more people and create a broader base of resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, GoFarm started with its <\/span>local food share<\/span><\/a> program (essentially a CSA curated from <\/span>multiple farms<\/span><\/a>). More than a decade later, it has become an organization that trains and develops beginning farmers and creatively tackles the problem of how to get affordable, fresh food to the community. As a nonprofit, it is able to fundraise for grants and donations to support its programming and supplement that with revenue generated through produce sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GoFarm\u2019s incubator farmer program gives beginning farmers access to a quarter acre of land for the two-year duration of the program. The farmers receive all the training they need to plan, plant and manage a farm\u2014regardless of their background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe average age of current farmers is 55 to 59, and we know that, over the next 10 years, half of current farmers are going to retire, which means that we need to develop a new base,\u201d says Ortiz. But she points out that there is a \u201ctremendous need\u201d for agricultural education.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPart of our goal is to change the paradigm of farm ownership. Currently, in Colorado, there are approximately 34,000 farms and only one percent are owned by people of color. Yet, 95 to 98 percent of farm workers are people of color, primarily Latinos,\u201d says Ortiz, who shares that she comes from a long line of farmers and farm workers. She says she is proud that, in the farmer development program, 50 percent of participants are people of color, 65 percent are women and 40 percent self-identify as LGBTQ+.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Moses Smith of <\/span>Full Fillment Farms<\/span><\/a> was an engineer who had gardened before taking GoFarm\u2019s 20-week course and joining the incubator program. \u201cThe important thing was the Whole Farm Planning course that really focused on what it takes to actually grow food,\u201d says Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest benefits is that they not only provide us with land access, which is very hard as a starting farmer, but they also give us a market avenue,\u201d says Ann Poteet of Three Owls Farm. As incubator farmers are establishing their businesses and learning how to generate their own markets, they sell produce back to GoFarm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GoFarm\u2019s local food share program feeds anywhere from 500 to 800 members each summer. Members come every week to pick up their share from a few different locations where GoFarm has refrigerated shipping containers to store food after it\u2019s delivered by farmers. Plus, GoFarm takes Chuck out and about in Denver and Jefferson counties every week to ensure they can reach underserved populations that are challenged with food insecurity, disability, transportation and other barriers, such as the communities living in designated food deserts in south Golden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have an interest in nutritional insecurity,\u201d says Poteet, who was a nurse practitioner before starting her farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really inspiring,\u201d says Smith about being able to see his food nourish the community through GoFarm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

But farmer\u2019s market prices can be high, as producers need to be fairly compensated for their labor and costs. \u201cCustomers were clear to us that having access to healthy food was critical to them and affordability was a barrier,\u201d says Ortiz. So, in 2022, GoFarm found the funding it needed to implement a new solution that goes even further to improve accessibility for the 2,600+ households it reaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Customers at its mobile markets can choose from one of three price tiers to shop that day, depending on their needs. For example, bags of mixed greens have three prices listed: $2 (purple), $3 (green) and $4 (orange). And the microgreens are even cheaper, at $1, $2 or $3 for a box. Pasture-raised eggs can be $3, $5 or $7 a carton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou are what you eat,\u201d says Kaylee Clinton, a first-time GoFarm mobile market shopper. \u201cI just feel better about myself when I eat fresher.\u201d As inflation has hit grocery stores, she says that SNAP has helped make food more affordable and she appreciates that GoFarm lets shoppers pick their price point. \u201cI really love it. I think it\u2019s great for everybody.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTypically, I either buy green or orange. I like buying orange when I can. It\u2019s good to have the flexible pricing,\u201d says Ed Gazvoda, who has been shopping at GoFarm for years. \u201cI want to live a good, long, healthy life, so it\u2019s a personal thing, but I just love the food.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jess Soulis, director of the Community Food Access program, highlights that accepting SNAP\u2019s DoubleUp Food Bucks\u2014where shoppers essentially get a 50-percent discount\u2014is just one way to make food more affordable. The group also partners with WIC\u2019s Farmers Market Nutrition Program, where participants get a credit to shop. Through its market locations at Littleton Advent Hospital and Juanita Nolasco Senior Residences, the program offers shoppers $10 worth of produce for free. SNAP\/DUFB account for 13 percent of its mobile market sales, but all of these incentives combined are closer to two-thirds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building this beautiful, vibrant, local food system and we don\u2019t want to replicate the injustices and inequities that are so prevalent in the existing food system,\u201d says Soulis.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The vision continues to grow. The only limitation? \u201cInfrastructure,\u201d says Ortiz. GoFarm is currently seeking out refrigerated warehouse space along the I-70 corridor between Golden and Montbello.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat area is important because we need to make it accessible to farmers along the Front Range,\u201d says Ortiz. \u201cWith that refrigerated warehouse space, we could easily source from more farmers, distribute more food and serve more communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
