Arvada partners with Frontline Farming to enhance local agriculture and food systems

The Littleton City Environmental Stewardship Board meeting on May 7, 2025, spotlighted a dynamic partnership aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture and enhancing local food systems. Frontline Farming, a key player in this initiative, emphasized the importance of collaboration with neighboring cities like Arvada and Denver to foster community engagement and support.

During the meeting, representatives discussed the foundational roles of both the city of Arvada and Frontline Farming. Arvada's responsibilities include providing land and access to water, while Frontline Farming manages agricultural production and community outreach. This partnership has proven effective, with both parties fulfilling their commitments to maintain the property and engage the community through events and classes.

A highlight of the collaboration is the upcoming farm-to-table dinner, which aims to attract 200 attendees this year, significantly up from last year's 30. This event not only serves as a fundraiser but also showcases the community's commitment to sustainable practices. The dinner will take place at Celebration Farm, located at Celebration Community Church.

Additionally, Frontline Farming's connection with organizations like Slow Food further enriches their community involvement, demonstrating a robust network of support for local food initiatives. As these partnerships continue to thrive, they promise to enhance accessibility to fresh food and strengthen community ties in Littleton and beyond.
