Blue Bear Farm is an innovative urban garden located on the West side of the Colorado Convention Center at the intersection of Speer and Stout. This unique urban farm boosts the national image of the Colorado Convention Center and fits perfectly into Denver's environmental responsibility and sustainability culture. The Blue Bear Farm was formed through Mayor Hancock's Denver Seeds Initiative on Ju

ne 4th 2012. Blue Bear Farm is used by Centerplate, who provide the event hospitality services for the Colorado Convention Center. The purpose of Blue Bear Farm is to grow food and use as a tool to educate people about urban farming. With over 5000 square feet of growing space, the farm is a perfect setting for an urban agriculture learning site and boost the local food production economy. In it's first year of operation the farm estimated production was 1800 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables. Within the next four to five years the farm expected production should reach 5000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables per year. A total of 34 different plants are grown in the Blue Bear Farm, including eggplant, squash, tomatoes, melons, and raspberries. The firm also leads educational programming in the space where youth like the teens from Groundwork Denver's Green Team who learn urban farming skills working in the farm. MojoGro has generously donated the organic soil being used in the garden beds, and Dutch Heritage Gardens donated many of the plants that are being grown. Partners
