Children’s Farms of America

Children's Farms of America (CFA), operating as Children's Farms in Action, is a Denver-based non-profit organization focused on addressing social determinants of health (SDoH) through sustainable urban agriculture and nutrition education. The organization manages the Montbello Urban Farm and a network of school-based gardens, producing thousands of pounds of fresh produce annually to combat food insecurity in underserved communities. CFA integrates its agricultural programs with community health initiatives, collaborating with mental health providers and educational institutions to offer horticultural therapy and nutrition-focused wellness programs. By engaging youth in food production and environmental stewardship, the organization aims to reduce the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. CFA's model emphasizes community resiliency and equitable access to healthy food as foundational components of preventative healthcare.
