Food Preservation: A Farm to Table Homestead Workshop Series 2
Hosted at Elk Run Farm in Lyons, CO, over the span of 3 Wednesday summer evenings, you can be sure to learn about how to take raw ingredients from the garden and turn them into delicious, nutrient dense foods that can last you deep into the winter & provide nourishment throughout the year. At Elk Run Farm, the land stewards eat about 90% of their diets from our 1/3 of an acre forest garden and parking-lots-turned-grain-fields, thanks to these tried and true methods of preserving, canning and homesteading.
Parks, Pollinators and People: Do Bees and Butterflies Prefer Higher Income Parks in Denver?
Parks, Pollinators and People: Do Bees and Butterflies Prefer Higher Income Parks in Denver?
Pollinators are declining broadly, but city parks may hold the key to their success in urban settings. In this webinar, our expert speaker will unpack the results of a city-wide study in Denver where she discovered which city parks best support pollinators, and how neighborhood income may be playing a role. Representatives from Denver Parks & Rec will also be joining us to discuss how this study will impact the future of Denver parks.

Boulder Farmers Market
Boulder Farmers Market
Join Boulder County Farmers Market in the heart of downtown Boulder on 13th Street (between Canyon and Arapahoe) for the longest market season in the state of Colorado. Our Boulder markets on Wednesday and Saturday offer the very best of the season—from farm fresh produce to locally raised meat, poultry, and eggs. You can also load up on bread and baked goods, plants and flowers, and Colorado-crafted specialty and ready-to-eat foods from our great vendors.
Longmont Farmers Market
Longmont Farmers Market
Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.
