When the Malara family moved to Arvada, Kipling was still a dirt road, 72nd Ave did not go through, and there was farmland, dairy farms and livestock all around. The Malara's were busy growing squash, pickles, dill, corn and other crops that they would sell at the Denargo Market. Eventually so many neighbors voiced interest in buying fresh corn that Roxie Sr. built the main building in 1957 in order to sell his fresh vegetables straight from his farm to the people of Arvada.
Roxie Jr, the current owner, added the bedding plant business to the farm stand in the 80's. While none of Roxie Sr's kids have followed in their father's footsteps of farming the land today, Roxie Jr has continued with the farmer's market and garden center. He buys fresh fruit and produce from local farms in Brighton, Longmont, Pueblo and Grand Junction.
