MIcro Farms is a small urban farming social enterprise based in Arvada, Colorado. It partners with homeowners, referred to as Yard Partners, to convert underused land into chemical-free, bio-intensive gardens. Yard Partners donate the land and cover water costs while the company installs, maintains, and harvests; in return, partners receive a weekly basket of in-season produce from the network, valued at about $850. The remaining harvest is sold through venues that include local restaurants, food co-ops, CSA shares, farmers markets, and direct sales. The organization operates within the farming industry as an urban agriculture model that leverages residential space to produce local food with minimal lawn maintenance for homeowners.
