BORN BOTANICAL
Permaculture Action Day
with Bassnectar and Michael Franti

at Frontline Farming’s new 2-acre site
Majestic View Farm
Park at the church
7080 Independence St.,
Arvada, CO 80004

Saturday, June 8, 2019
10am-5pm

Following Bassnectar Freestyle Sessions night 1 at 1STBANK CENTER; and Michael Franti & Spearhead at Red Rocks
~
we’re gathering the day after these concerts to take action together.

Frontline Farming operates a multi-plot farm sustainably growing organic, nutrient-rich food for people of all income levels in the Denver area.

The organization engages its communities by educating youth and neighbors on growing food and promoting healthy, active lifestyles, beautifying Denver neighborhoods with edible landscapes, and reducing the distance from farm to plate.

Frontline Farming has just gained access to a 2-acre farm within the Majestic View Nature Center. This is where we’ll show up in right relationship the day after the show to support the local organizers in transforming the land into a productive peri-urban farm.
