Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s shipping container farms have moved to their new home — just steps away from the new International Center for the Care and Conservation of Giraffe, which is now open!
Inside these climate-controlled hydroponic farms, our horticulture team grows fresh produce year-round for the animals, including romaine lettuce, kale, bok choy, wheatgrass, and more.
About 60% of giraffe feeding lettuce is grown right here at CMZoo. And now, that fresh lettuce has an even shorter journey — from farm to giraffe!
Come see the shipping container farms during your next visit and learn how they’re helping us grow fresh food for the animals we care for.
