Where to Find Us

 

📍Unless otherwise noted, all Cloud City Farm events take place at 440 McWethy Drive in Leadville.

We’re located across from the Community Field and below the Mineral Belt Trail and Lake County High School.

Look for the gravel driveway off McWethy and head towards the greenhouses!

The goal of Cloud City Farm is to address healthy food access challenges in Lake County and inspire stewardship of our natural resources through food production, educational opportunities and community engagement.

At Cloud City Farm, we don’t just grow food - we share food with our community in many ways, including our weekly farm markets. These markets feature fresh, locally grown food at donation-based “pay what you can” prices to ensure that tasty, healthy food is accessible to everyone.

Community Compost

Cloud City Community Garden

Cloud City Community Garden was created with the intention to build community in Lake County through the growing of food. All Lake County community members and individuals of all ages, backgrounds, etc. are encouraged to come together in the spirit of community to enjoy the community garden, whether that entails gardening, resting on a shaded bench or meeting with friends and neighbors in the garden.

Community gardeners are expected to help at the spring and fall community garden volunteer days, or volunteer 5 hours throughout the growing season. The plot fee is a suggested donation of $30 to help support garden operations.

The community garden plot lottery is now closed and all plots have been assigned. We had a huge volume of applications and are sorry if we weren’t able to offer you a space this year, but we appreciate your interest and look forward to supporting you in other ways!

If you have any questions about the community garden please email Cloud City Farm Director Sarah@c4leadville.org.

C4 is proud to offer a free residential Community Compost program at Cloud City Farm! Learn more about composting or sign up today.

Cloud City Farm offers a variety of hands-on youth education throughout the year, including school-based education programs for K-12 students as well as career and community education programs for high schoolers and recent grads.
