Colorado growers can market their products to consumers through
the 26th annual Colorado Farm Fresh Directory. Listings are being accepted for
the 2010 edition of the directory. Published by the Colorado Department of
Agriculture, Farm Fresh promotes Colorado farmers’ markets, roadside
stands, u-picks, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) producers, agritourism
activities and farms that sell direct to the public.
“Consumers
look forward to the Farm Fresh Directory every year, and it is our most popular
publication,” said Wendy White, marketing specialist with the Colorado
Department of Agriculture. “The ‘buy local’ trend continues to
gain momentum and Farm Fresh is a great way to connect producers with
consumers.”
The fee to be included in the directory is $25 and the
deadline is February 1, 2010. Listing forms are available at Colorado State
University Extension offices, by calling the Colorado Department of Agriculture
at (303) 239-4115 or by visiting www.coloradoagriculture.com.
The directory will be available in June and is free to consumers.
Nearly 90,000 copies of the publication will be distributed through libraries,
extension offices, bookstores, farmers’ markets, welcome centers, chambers
of commerce and other businesses. In addition to the printed directory, the
2010 Farm Fresh will also be available on the Colorado Department of
Agriculture’s website.
