Homegrown Fort Collins
Celebrating Local Food & Our Agricultural Roots

Battle Of The Burners :: Adventures In Food :: Downtown Tasting Tour

Fort Collins loves to eat. Ask anyone who shops at our many Farmer’s Markets or is a member of a CSA farm about Colorado produce, poultry, and livestock. Fresh sweet corn, chocolate milk and tangy cheeses, luscious melons, succulent lamb, delicate mushrooms. And beer. Enjoying good food with friends and family in Northern Colorado is a beloved pastime. Homegrown Fort Collins is a month long celebration of our local food and agricultural roots. Homegrown Fort Collins introduces our community to the local farming and agricultural community and creates connections between the Northern Colorado public, our local growers, and our fine chefs and restaurants.
