The UCCS Farm is now taking pre-orders for its annual plant sale, a long-held and beloved tradition within the campus community. The Farm is offering a diverse selection of organic, heirloom and uncommon varieties of tomatoes, peppers, beans, herbs and flowers grown right here at UCCS.

You can pre-order your plants now through May 10 here. Pre-order pickups will take place from May 16 to May 18 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Farm. They will also be offering in-person sales during that time, in case you see anything you missed!

Additionally, from May to September, the Farm will be hosting a Farmer’s Market on the third Friday of each month. Student entrepreneurs, Colorado vendors and food trucks will come together to showcase their goods and services and offer the community a chance to enjoy and support other locals. Each market will offer fresh produce, artisanal products and delicious food.

2024 dates include:

• May 17 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
• June 21 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
• July 19 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
