About Our Work
Mary’s Hands was created in the midst of the 2020 pandemic to grow fresh fruit
and vegetables for community members facing food insecurity.
​
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.
Feedback from our customers informs our crop planning.​
​
During the growing season, we make weekly deliveries to
several communities in Boulder, Colorado.
We add delivery sites as our capacity grows.
​
​​
We seek to transfer power and dignity to our customers
and to reduce our customer's barriers to food access.
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
hinono’eino’ biito’owu’ (Arapaho),
Tsestho’e (Cheyenne),
Nuu-agha-tuvu-pu (Ute),
and Ochethi Sakowin (Sioux).
Our Inspiration
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.
