I grew up in Connecticut and then went to school at the University of Denver. While living in Colorado I got used to farm fresh food. After moving back to CT I feel like local and organic food is more of a back burner topic. Luckily, while living in both states I have had a steady flow of local organic fruits and vegetables. 

In CO: Ripe Colorado Produce

• While living in Edwards, CO (Vail Valley) last winter there was an amazing fruit and vegetable stand called Ripe Colorado Produce.  Originally established by Gretchen Schramm, her brother Peter Schramm started helping out last summer. 
• Located directly in front of one of my favorite breweries Crazy Mountain Brewery, I was able to quench both thirst and hunger with craft food and drink.
• Pete would drive to farms in the lush areas near Paonia, CO and Palisade, CO to pick up the majority of the produce on Monday and Wednesday mornings. I was lucky enough to accompany Pete on a couple of pickups this summer.

In CT: Mike's Organic Delivery

• When I moved back to CT I met up with an old friend named Chris Kimball. We attended middle school and high school together at Brunswick. He started working for Mike (Also a Brunswick alumnus) about a year ago. Chris told me all about the delivery service and Ive been hooked since!
• This is the biggest organic delivery service in CT and kind of works like a CSA. They have so many delicious items such as fruits, vegetables, all types of meat, pesto, honey, farm fresh cheeses and even dog treats. 
• I was fortunate to go with Chris on a few pick-ups as well to farms in the Hudson Valley in NY and in CT. 
• The baskets always come with a scrumptious array of fruits and veggies and they deliver them every Tuesday. Mike includes awesome recipes that can be used for the basket contents.
