Local Food Summit to Bring Together Colorado’s Top Local Food Producers

 

 

Grower’s Organic is excited to announce our participation as a sponsor of the Mile High Business Alliance’s Local Food Summit, Denver’s largest gathering of local food producers, manufacturers, growers, retailers, and restaurateurs. The Local Food Summit will be a great place to network with Colorado’s top local food producers, as well as sample local food and drink from many of our great local brewers, bakers, coffee roasters and other local food purveyors.

Key issues affecting our local food system will also be addressed. Topics ranging from the starting and growing farms in the urban agricultural space to understanding food system infrastructure and how we can localize our current model will be discussed.

The Local Food Summit will be held from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday, February 11th at 144 West Colfax Avenue in Denver.

The First Annual Grower’s Organic Thanksgiving Farmer’s Market

We’re thankful for a lot of things here at Growers. Organic produce, family, awesome co-workers, and our beautiful home in Colorado. Most of all, we’re thankful for the wonderful community that supports us, our local farmers, and all of our customers that choose organic over conventionally-grown produce.

In keeping with our commitment to community involvement, we’ve decided to express our thanks the only way we know how: selling produce. Which is why which is why we’re ecstatic to announce that we will be opening our doors to the community. Join us at a farmer’s market-style gathering where you’ll be able to buy all of your organic Thanksgiving staples at Grower’s Organic employee pricing! Featuring everything from apples to yams, this is your chance to get everything you need to throw an all-out  Thanksgiving feast for the ones you love, chock full of organic, non-GMO veggies.

The market runs from 2-6 on Tuesday, November 20 at Grower’s Headquarters at 6400 Broadway in Denver, all while our friends from Waffleganger will be slinging the tastiest waffles this side of Belgium. Everyone is welcome, so bring the family and tell your friends! See you there!

Happy 100th birthday to the late and great Julia Child!

We love her for insisting upon whole, fresh foods and pioneering the focus on farm-to-table eating. Thanks, Julia, for showing us that all “apsics” of fine dining can be created at home.
