Last week, I was so taken in with the baby chicks for sale at Denver Urban Homesteading’s Indoor Farmers’ Market, that I didn’t post pictures of other vendors from the market.  There is a surprising amount of variety for February!  While fresh veggies are in short supply, vendors like Ginger’s Gourmet had the good sense to put up concoctions like zucchini relish last summer.

Denver Urban Homesteading is stocked with heirloom vegetable seeds from Baker Creek.  It’s nice to see increasing interest in heirloom vegetables, but dreaming about all of these tasty varieties is amplfying my impatience for the arrival of spring.

Beef and Buffalo vendors are abundant:  Buffalo Peak Ranch, Ranch Foods Direct, Kiowa Valley Organics, Natural Homestead Beef.  Capra Collina has started carrying Navajo-Churro lamb (on the Slow Food Ark of Taste.)

Be sure to ask if the animals are grain-fed or grass-fed if that’s important to you.

Bella pasta has pasta in more varities than I could previously imagine.

Colorado Easy Mix offers flour and mixes using organic flour ground in Platteville, CO from wheat grown in Colorado and surrounding states.  They have bulk organic flour available.

There WAS one surprise fresh vegetable appearance.  But I’m saving that for my Thursday veggie story! 

Have a great week!
