The Colorado Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association is encouraging shoppers to look for CFVGA’s colorful produce calendar when shopping at City Markets, Sprouts Farmers Market and King Soopers stores.
Produced by CFVGA in cooperation with Colorado Proud, the calendar tells consumers when Colorado produce is available fresh from local growers’ fields and orchards.
“We invested in this produce calendar so that consumers will know when to look for fresh Colorado fruits and vegetables,” said Adrian Card, CFVGA founding board member, in a press release. “We want Coloradoans to know the wide variety of high-quality produce they can buy from growers right here in our own state.”
The calendars show the season of typical availability for 44 produce items grown in Colorado.
The poster-sized calendars can be found in all City Market and Sprouts Farmers Market stores throughout the state, as well as in King Soopers stores.
Consumers and wholesalers seeking particular produce items can use the produce calendar online at https://coloradoproduce.org/produce-directory/ to find growers of individual produce items.
Consumers can also go to https://coloradoproduce.org/nutrition-health-2/ and click on a produce item for nutrition information and recipes as well as storage, purchase and safe handling tips.
