About Our Work

Anchor 2

Mary’s Hands was created in the midst of the 2020 pandemic to grow fresh fruit

and vegetables for our local community members facing food insecurity.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Mary’s Hands is a mostly solar and people powered operation

and we make deliveries primarily using electric vehicles.

We grow using organic and regenerative methods.

We began by taking surplus garden bounty to local food pantries.

Our work evolves as we learn and grow

and we are currently delivering directly to low income housing communities,

reducing our customer's barriers to food access.

During the growing season, we make weekly deliveries to

several communities in Boulder, Colorado.

We add delivery sites as our capacity grows.

The food is not surplus. It is grown for our customers,

picked that morning and delivered to their location.

In 2022 we began soliciting customer input to create our crop plan

for the following year. This now annual practice has led us to plant a food

forrest so that we can provide fruit; our customers' number one requested item.

In 2024 we began growing plant starts per our customers' request so that they may grow garden and patio sized fruit and vegetable plants.

Our Mission

The Space

The space where we grow is located in

eastern Boulder Colorado where the

Rocky Mountains meet the great plains. Elevation 5430'

This organization acknowledges that

we live and work on the traditional territory of First Nations People including

Mary’s Hands was named after our

co-founder's mother, Mary.

She was a deeply giving person

and a nurturer of growing things.

Mary passed away in 2019 but

she lives on in our hearts.
