About Us
The Rio Grande Farm Park’s mission is to create and sustain a vibrant place 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 will join a collaborative team at a grassroots nonprofit 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. These growers participate in either the commercial farm plots or the community garden plots. The whole 38-acre site provides space for youth and community education, volunteer programs, a public park, a playground, and an orchard - all connected to Alamosa’s Rio Grande trail network. The Farm Park also hosts an abundance of community events, including a Wednesday evening Farmers’ Market in the summer. Further, the Farm Park manages enterprise projects for community benefit including retail compost sales, Education Center rentals, and market vegetable production.
