Yes, it’s the dog days of summer. It’s also the season for some of Colorado’s best-loved produce: Rocky Ford melons, Olathe sweet corn, Pueblo chiles and Palisade peaches. Farmers and workers across Colorado are putting in long hours to get their bounty to market and to people’s tables. The Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association has a website that shows what’s grown in the state, where producers are located, links to farmers markets and even a harvest timeline. Marilyn Bay Drake, executive director, doesn’t want to take for granted that everyone knows that now’s the time to start figuring out which stores stock Colorado melons and corn and where the best road stands are to find peaches grown on the Western Slope. “I realize there are so many people who are new to Colorado, so they don’t understand the harvest schedule,” Drake said.
