Start a farm without buying a farm.
Land is the hardest thing for a new grower to get in the Denver metro. The incubator gives new farmers ground on our Lakewood homestead, shared tools and water, and a market at the gate, so they can build a business before taking on land of their own.
The first farm the incubator grew was our own. Everitt Farms was the first farm on this ground since the homesteaders, and every farm since has started where we did.
