Looking for local?

As grass is greening and days are getting warmer, farmers markets are popping up across the state. The Colorado Department of Agriculture’s 33rd annual Colorado Farm Fresh Directory helps consumers find farmers markets, roadside stands, u-picks, wineries and agritourism activities.

“If you are looking for local foods, Farm Fresh is the perfect guide,” said Wendy White, marketing specialist for the CDA. “We hope the publication helps connect consumers with local producers.”

The 2017 Colorado Farm Fresh Directory features more than 200 farms, ranches, roadside stands, u-picks and community supported agriculture programs, as well as 100 farmers markets across the state. Farm Fresh also includes farms that offer tours, restaurants using local ingredients, wineries, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and farm and ranch vacations. In addition, the free directory includes county fairs, a crop calendar, food and agricultural festivals, and tips for picking Colorado produce.
