Five years ago, on October 24, 2018, Altius Farms opened its doors and later made its first sale of arugula to a then-restaurant partner. Fast forward to today, and the farm, now part of the JFS family, continues its work to provide sustainably grown greens year-round to the Denver community – keeping tradition with its first sale on October 24, 2023, being - you guessed it - arugula to restaurant partners and friends at Table 6.  

Since opening, JFS Altius Farms director Sally Herbert reminisced about our team members, restaurant, partners, and greens-loving community who helped support and grow the farm. Acknowledging the energy, expertise, and passion the staff has shown for the indoor and outdoor garden. 

We are excited to continue the rewarding work of being part of the sustainable food system in the greater Denver area and look forward to many more years of growing greens and beyond.
