You’ve probably seen the Colorado Proud logo on produce, meat, and dairy products that you buy at the grocery store. The logo tells you that the product was grown or raised right here in Colorado. This August, the Colorado Proud program is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a statewide community tour. The tour will kick off in Denver on Colorado Day, August 1, followed by events across the state throughout the month.
To learn more about Colorado Proud, and to find some great consumer resources such as recipes and a farmers’ market app, head over to the Colorado Proud webpage. In our library you can also find some helpful resources from Colorado Proud, including Tips for Picking Colorado Produce.
