Know Where Your Food Comes From
The western slope of Colorado has a long tradition of passionate farmers.
For over a century the North Fork Valley has been home to an abundance of homesteads, farms, and orchards. In the early 1900s, prized Paonia fruit made its way all over the country via train packed in ice from the snowcaps. Today a culture of self-reliance, sustainability, and creativity continues in the valley. From cheese and grass-fed beef to organic peaches, biodynamically grown vegetables to honey – they all hale from this tiny, sparsely populated Colorado valley.
The farms that work with Vicki’s Fresh Food Movement are diverse in size, food, and personality, but they all have one thing in common: they grow some of the best food around.
