What's our why?
We got into the food growing business because we believe our city, Colorado Springs, is called to be a City of Refuge, where hurting people can come to find healing and a new home. To fulfill that purpose, we need spiritual provision and physical provision. The spiritual side provides love, care, and healing for those who were traumatized in the places they left. The physical side provides food, clothing, and a local economy through which people can support themselves while contributing to the city. As we researched how to make sure we had the requisite physical provision in our city, we found out that we don't grow much of our own food here in Colorado. We import 90% of what we eat from outside of the state. So we launched Peak City Gardens to help change that rather precarious way of feeding ourselves. Our goal is to be a major food provider for our city. To read more of our history, take a look at our blog.
