A roughly 3-acre plot of land on a hilltop behind Warren Tech High School has become the home of a student farm — a place that not only will grow food, but also, it is hoped, foster ideas about sustainable farming.
Dubbed Bean Acres, the plot of land is run by employees of Denver-based restaurant Squeaky Bean along with school instructors and students.
The farm operates as a laboratory open to culinary students, STEM and special-needs students who now have the opportunity to study food production as well as distribution and marketing, said Josh Olsen, co-owner of Squeaky Bean, who’s been hired as a full-time instructor overseeing farm operations.
Five local restaurants have agreed to purchase produce grown on site.
