JFS Altius Farms is making an impact throughout the community
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.
Altius Farms Celebrates Five Year Anniversary
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.
