We are a multi-plot, two-family farm in beautiful Arvada, Colorado. Now considered a suburb of Denver, Arvada was established in 1861 and is a historic and vibrant community in its own right. It is an ideal location for a suburban farm with abundant open space, mature fruit trees, and historic ditches that remind us of this area's agricultural heritage.

Our produce is grown using only organic methods, and we specialize in heirloom varieties you won't easily find at your grocery store. We also coordinate a community orchard project.  

One of the primary goals of Highline Half Acres is to demonstrate that it is possible to grow healthy, delicious and fresh food in Colorado year-round. We will be testing a wide variety of four season growing methods and cold season crops, and adding sustainably designed hoophouses and greenhouses in the next few years.

We are committed to working with businesses based in and around Arvada so that together we can build a robust local food economy. Check our market schedule to see where you can find our produce; chances are you'll find a source just a few minutes from home (or contact us to order veggies directly!). Residents and businesses in Arvada have first priority for CSA shares and restaurant and market sales, and we grow all our produce right here in our neighborhood.

Have you ever wanted a glimpse behind the scenes of a new urban farm start-up? We are currently gearing up for our first season. We're looking for volunteers, donations of supplies, sponsors, and business partners - and we would love to have you join us! Please check here for more details, or contact us directly to find out how you can get involved. Or just check our blog regularly and follow along!

Several historic ditches - the Farmers Highline Canal, Church Ditch, and Croke Canal, among others - wind through Arvada's neighborhoods. They provide green spaces, peaceful trails, wildlife habitat, water rights, and a link to our community's agricultural past. We are fortunate not only to be growing on fertile former farmland, but to be directly linked to Church Ditch - a free source of water from May through September.

Our farm's name takes after Star Acres, the quiet country neighborhood along Church Ditch where our plots are located. We feel lucky to be part of this beautiful community and to be able to turn its bountiful resources into something rewarding and nourishing for our friends and neighbors.
