“Cultivating climate and conservation action from farm to table”
The Colorado Farm & Food Alliance networks family farms, winemakers, brewers, food producers, chefs, and restaurateurs to cultivate and strengthen the local food movement, support sustainable rural communities, and provide a platform for effective climate and conservation advocacy.
The Colorado Farm & Food Alliance provides information about Colorado agriculture and food economies and highlights the nexus between securing those values and implementing sound land use, energy, conservation and climate policy.
We welcome participation from a range of organizations, individuals and businesses on our various projects. Read more here.
Statement of Purpose
“Healthy lands and clean water protect Colorado’s farms, food, and drink. “
Strengthening local food systems means safeguarding the health of the land and supply of clean water and addressing long-term sustainability issues like climate change.
Our partners and supporters are businesses and associations, family farms and markets, local restaurants and producers, rural food and economic groups, and others that understand protecting Colorado’s environment protects our family farm and local food economy.
We seek to strengthen Colorado’s local food movement, and to connect its rural and urban communities from “farm to table.” We seek to cultivate climate and conservation action and to bring wholesome, locally sourced food and drink to Coloradans across the state.

“Eat Local ~ Think Global ~ Act Now”
Make a contribution to Colorado’s sustainable farm and food future.
Our combined voice can support our local farm and food economy, amplify and support climate action, and help ensure that clean water and healthy land are made a priority when managing for oil and gas development in Colorado so that our farmlands and clean water are not harmed.

Denver Event Combines Fine Nosh, Boutique Spirits, and Great Guests to Discuss Healthy Farms and Food Security
This past May the Colorado Farm & Food Alliance joined with partners and friends including Slow Food Western Slope, the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, and the Valley Organic Growers Association to bring a sampling of top quality Colorado-sourced food and drink to Denver, with a message.
If you care about food you need to care about how oil and gas is getting developed in Colorado.
“It’s very important that oil and gas development happen responsibly,” said Jim Brett of Slow Food Western Slope. “It doesn’t need to happen everywhere, we must be careful about our food sources.”
Business friends and partners included The Kitchen-Denver Restaurant (“Community through Food”) which hosted the event, and Peak Spirits Distillery at Jack Rabbit Hill Farm, Big B’s Juices & Hard Ciders, Alfred Eames Cellars, Stone Cottage Cellars, and Thistle Whistle Farm, who donated their time and top quality skills and product.
“Food and all food-related issues are big topics right now,” said Kyle Mendenhall, Executive Chef at The Kitchen restaurants. “Everyone wants to know about their food and where it comes from, how it is made. People that enjoy food are understanding that it’s all connected, great food comes from great ingredients. If we care about our food we need to care about our food sources.”
