Brian Freeman came to Colorado in 1991, working with Gemini Natural Food Market and Cafe. He then was on the management team for the opening of the Wild Oats Washington Park store, acting in many rolls of management for the next five years. During that time he also helped Green Earth Farm with farmers markets, increasing his knowledge of produce and retailing. His business expertise stands as beneficial balance to the farmer’s perspective. He is returning to the produce business he loves by becoming a founding member of Growers Organic.
Brian Wheeler came to Colorado in 1982, as a Action Adventure photographer on the Arkansas River. In his need to be down to earth, Brian came to Boulder and secured a job with Alfalfa’s as the produce manager in 1991. In 1996 Brian wanted more control over his produce and his high standard for Organic and went to the Crystal/Pearl St. market . Brian was recruited by Boulder Fruit Express and became Denver’s top Organic Produce buyer. BFX was bought by Albert’s where Brian stayed for 5 more years and decided the corporate life wasn’t for him.
Paul New of White Mountain Farm is the third founding member of our company. Paul has been growing Quinoa and Potatoes on his farm in Mosca, Co. since 1985. His organic potato processing facility is one of only two in the San Luis Valley. Processing for large accounts such as Wal-Mart and Kroger has been a great learning experience. Now we will bring you San Luis Valley potatoes in a new Organic Valley label.
We hope you will extend to us the opportunity to serve your needs into the future. We look forward to working with you.
The owners have been distributing organic produce in Denver for over 15 years.
