Event attendees were the first to see the newly launched Friends of ENCA Farm Video that details the story of the Cosalan's land rights battle against the Philippine Government to maintain their ancestral land title. Attendees also learned about the various programs offered at ENCA Farm including hosting international volunteers through World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF), ENCA Farm's coffee growers cooperative, youth environmental education camp programs and a variety of organic farming seminars offered at the farm.

Grow Local Colorado's Director Dana Miller gave an energetic talk about the rapidly growing community garden movement in Denver. Grow Local Colorado plants edible gardens in public parks throughout the city, many of which help provide fresh local produce to local food banks. These gardens are maintained by 100% volunteer labor.  

Waste Farmers Founder and Executive Director John-Paul Maxfield also gave a compelling talk about the importance of supporting sustainable agriculture on the global scale. He discussed that we in the U.S. are often the largest contributors to the world environmental problems, but feel the least of these drastic negative effects. Event attendees left inspired to get involved in the local organic farming movement in Denver and the Philippines.

All money raised at the event purchased organic seeds for farmers in the Philippines and went to support physical infrastructure improvements under way at ENCA Farm. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this great event.
