Summer is officially here! What are farmers on Colorado's Front Range harvesting?

Named for Colorado’s state grass, blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), at Grama Grass, we are, first and foremost, grass farmers. We move our herd daily and adapt our grazing plans to address each property’s needs, with the goal of nourishing our prairie ecosystem, while...

Gardening is such a huge topic, and people have a wide variety of questions.

Founded by Helen Williams, who has been vegan since 2009, Best One Yet creates ice cream using a coconut milk and cane sugar base rotated with seasonal flavors from local farmers. Williams describes her creation as 'a deceptively rich treat, with a smooth texture and consistency that matches dairy ice cream, albeit with a very slight hint of coconut.' The colorful vegan ice cream truck operates at Boulder County farmers markets, where Williams shares: 'When we're at a farmer's market and we're selling ice cream that has peaches from the farmer who is right across from us, people love that story.'

Ashley Overstreet, a founder of the local bakery Daily Grains in Lafayette, said she is looking forward to having a large farmers market in the city again this year. She said that the impact of buying local is much more profound than buying bread from a grocery store chain.

Founded by Zoe Deutsch and Kate Lange in January 2020, Moon Raccoon Baking Co. began as a farmers market bakery selling whimsical croissants made from Colorado-grown and milled grains. The duo opened their first brick-and-mortar storefront at 2839 W. 44th Ave. in Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood in September 2025 after years of attending weekend farmers markets including Lafayette, Boulder, City Park, and Parker. Moon Raccoon partners with local Colorado suppliers: Dry Storage in Boulder provides freshly milled flour from Colorado-grown grain, Five Freedoms Dairy in Loveland supplies milk and cheese, and Croft Family Farms in Greeley provides eggs and produce. Additional sourcing partners include Ela Family Farms, Aspen Moon Farm, Cure Organic Farm, and Palisade Peach Shack. The bakery received the Slow Food Snail of Approval award for their sustainable sourcing practices. Lange shares about their partnership: 'We really love baking together. The way we bounce ideas off of each other, only grows and benefits the creative process.' Deutsch explains their expansion: 'We're completely building a bakery from the ground up inside of this warehouse.'
