The Rio Grande Farm Park’s mission is to create and sustain a vibrant community space where people come to learn, play, and grow. It is a land-based project of the San Luis Valley Local Foods Coalition (SLVLFC). If you join the team, you’ll be a part of a collaborative grassroots non-profit working to foster an equitable local food system in the San Luis Valley. The Farm Park hosts over 40 growers on 15 arable acres managed with regenerative and traditional methods. Our growers participate in either the commercial farm program or the community garden program. The Farm Park’s 38-acre property provides space for youth and community education opportunities and volunteer programs, as well as sporting a public park, a playground, an orchard, and a greenhouse, all while being connected to Alamosa’s Rio Grande trail network. The Farm Park hosts an abundance of community events, including a Wednesday evening farmers market in the summer. We also manage enterprise projects for community benefit including retail compost sales, Education Center rentals, and market vegetable production.
