Citing the current state of the craft beer industry, Sanitas Brewing Company announced on Facebook that it is closing the doors of its taprooms in Boulder, Lafayette and Englewood. 

The Lafayette-based WOW! Children's Museum was selected as one of 20 children's museums nationwide to participate in Nurturing Numeracy Skills and Math Literacy in Children's Museums, a program created through a partnership between the Association of Children's Museums and the Simons Foundation. The museum learned of its acceptance in November 2024. Current additions include a teller station in the bank exhibit where children can sort play money, and a bank vault feature with lockboxes that children unlock by solving math problems to win small prizes. The museum plans to expand math learning opportunities across additional programs and exhibits in 2026. WOW! is one of only two Colorado children's museums in the program, alongside Buell Children's Museum in Pueblo.

"Honey is such a cool souvenir, you know. It's a taste of a place," says Lara Boudreaux, co-owner of Björn's Colorado Honey, a three-generation family business that transforms local wildflowers into distinctive products found throughout Colorado.

Founded by Paige and Robbie Smith, Denver Pops makes hand-crafted popsicles with mostly organic and locally sourced ingredients without any additives or artificial dyes. 'We have two kids and we wanted to do something where we could involve them,' Smith explained. The company has grown from a City Park Farmer's Market stand to selling over 300,000 popsicles annually across 34 flavors, with distribution through Whole Foods and recreation centers statewide.

To be honest with you, I think that there's not enough love for smaller towns.

In addition to farmers' markets, Denver Pops has contracts with Whole Foods, recreation centers, campgrounds, and other vendors throughout the state. Robbie and Ashley pride themselves on the fact that Denver Pops are made with locally sourced ingredients and no additives or artificial dyes in their 34 flavors.

A provider of organic food to Boulder County residents for years, Moxie Bread Co. recently established a production facility in Longmont. The company used to split its bread and pastry production between its Louisville and Boulder locations, respectively. Those locations are still open, but now, Longmont is the sole place where both bread and pastries are baked and sent off to hungry customers.

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.'
