At JFS Altius Farms, we grow more than 35,000 pounds of fresh produce each year in our 7,300 sq. ft. rooftop greenhouse, which houses 355 Tower Gardens™. Our rooftop farm provides healthy, locally and sustainably grown non-GMO and chemical pesticide-free produce.

JFS Altius Farms is dedicated to supplying our community with locally grown, environmentally friendly greens as they empower veterans and contribute to the fight against hunger. In our latest spotlight, let’s learn about what our Altius team is working on now.

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.

Looking for suggestions on how to use those sustainably grown, fresh greens from JFS Altius Farms? We’ve got you covered. Each week, we cook up something special using delicious ingredients grown right here in our garden.

Now, we’re excited to share that JFS has the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of hyper-local, controlled-environment farming through our new social enterprise, JFS Altius Farms. By creating a platform for a cutting-edge social enterprise, JFS will expand our impact throughout our community and the clients we serve by providing fresh, healthy, locally grown produce.  

JFS is growing with the purchase of Altius Farms! In August, the organization officially added JFS Altius Farms to our family, and we’re excited to share a bit more about Altius and why we believe in the purchase.
