Colorado Sustainable Living Roundup > What Happened ...

The Urban Farm used to serve as the weather station for Denver's old Stapleton Airport. But thanks to the efforts of Ms. Khadija Haynes and a number of volunteers, it is now an urban environmental education center. The Urban Farm boasts an equestrian center, numerous crops & farm animals, and an ever-growing array of renewable-energy, permaculture, and other technologies (both tried-&-true and cutting-edge), all geared towards a more Sustainable future.

Instead of using a typical convention-hall type facility, organizers Ron Larson and Tom Potter thought The Urban Farm would be a perfect setting for a "roundup" of these technologies. With only a few months' lead time, a minimal budget, and the dedication of a dozen or so volunteers, the Roundup came to life on April 7.

The Roundup attracted several thousand attendees, kept the 50 or so exhibitors happily busy all day, and received coverage from three different Denver TV stations! Highlights included a horse show, community wind-tower raisings, and Adam Hall doing his soon-to-be-famous "Moonwalk for the Earth."
