What’s In Our Foodshed?
Forum to be Presented Saturday, March 29, 2008
at the Steamboat Springs Community Center
Northwest Colorado Products, CSU Extension Routt County and the District office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service will team up to present a panel discussion and facilitate a community dialogue, What’s in Our Foodshed?, to provide direction for how we can increase growing products for the local marketplace. This event is generously sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank Steamboat Springs. The forum will be held Saturday March 29, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. at the new Steamboat Springs Community Center at the Stockbridge Transit Center.

This exciting forum will bring together a panel that includes Christina Yeager – local producer, Michael Fragola – Cottonwood Grill, Three Peaks and La Montana owner/chef , Anne Halloran –Bamboo Market owner, CJ Mucklow –CSU Routt County Extension and Heather Zavalox – Routt County Environmental Health. The panel will discuss the current phenomenon in our country regarding local products, observations on local demand and the challenges and opportunities unique to Northwest Colorado to increase growing for the local market place. It is anticipated the dialogue will help to measure current interest in both commercial and community supported agriculture growing/production and what infrastructure, alternative energy sources, funding and mitigation of regulatory issues would be necessary to establish a program that would increase production.
