We Coloradans have every right to be proud of our land. Agriculture is in our state’s roots, and for nearly 150 years, generations of Coloradans have kept the tradition alive. Today, over 35,000 farms and ranches, and even more food processors and manufacturers besides, work hard to produce some of the finest food and agricultural products in the nation.

For over 20 years, Colorado Proud, a program developed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture, has worked to connect local producers with local customers. With more than 4,500 members and growing, you don’t have to look hard to find the Colorado Proud logo at grocers, farmers markets, restaurants, and more.

How do I know what’s in season?

Thanks to our many sunny days, fresh snowmelt, rich soil, and unique climate, Colorado farmers make the most of the short growing season between May and November. The results are nearly perfect expressions of every fruit, veggie and grain that can grow within our borders. Download our produce calendar to see what’s in season.

Since our produce is second-to-none, it’s no wonder our livestock are world famous. They’re lucky enough to eat the bounty of Colorado every day. So don’t forget to support our ranchers too!
