After the film "Fresh" was shown at Library Hall on 7/22, a handful of locals got up to speak about what they are doing to make local food available to our community. They are currently looking for volunteers/participants with their projects. Please read below to learn more about steps we are making in our community towards attaining local, fresh food ...
Tina Suriano and her family are living at 8,500 ft. in Rabbit Ears Village on the East side of Rabbit Ears Pass. They are building a greenhouse and plan to do a winter CSA which will provide fresh vegetables for 10 families. You can contact Tina to learn more about her project at steamboatglass@hotmail.com
Moonshines Homegrown Produce
Fresh Goats Milk, vegetables & eggs
We produce our own milk, vegetables, eggs, beef, lamb & on occasion, pork. We believe in natural & pesticide-free food.Moonshines Homegrown Produce has been in development for retail for the last four years.
I started selling shares of my Oberhausli dairy goats. This gave people a place to get fresh, raw milk. Many use it for kefir, yogurt, cheese and they just drink it.The divas get wonderful 2nd cutting alfalfa that my dad & family put up right on the ranch. They each get a portion of high protein grain during milking time. They love to be milked & are very happy to give us the beautiful milk that my family & many others enjoy on a daily basis.
My mission along with my family is to help locals find the purest kinds of foods within a short distance of their home. Please look for what your local farmers & ranchers have to offer - they have been working hard for Americans for many generations. They will take care of you when you don't have the time.

Raw Goats Milk: March-Nov.
Beef: July-Oct.
Lamb: Sept.-Oct.
Call for availability:

Community Cultivation is a horticulture program that addresses the vocational, social and life skills of individuals with disabilities and/or at risk populations. Community Cultivation is a work simulated environment that enables members to acquire the skills they need to be successful in the employment sector.
Participants learn to grow local, organic vegetables, herbs and cut flowers in five plots at the Yampa River Botanic Park . Once produce has been harvested, they sell their produce at the local Farmer's Markets during the month of August.
We are in our second year, and we have more than double our population! Twenty to twenty- five students from all over of Routt County are participating in Community Cultivation.
We are always looking for volunteers to garden with us, or offer any unique skills you may have to offer.
For more information on our programs or if you are interested in getting involved, please contact us at communitycultivation@yahoo.com.
Sincerely, Dana Colgan & Beth Davison
