Where to Buy Colorado-Grown Grains and Flours (and How to Use Them)

“The whole reason why I’m here and doing this is because I believe in regenerative farming and sustainability and lowering our carbon footprint,” Pembridge adds. “You’re creating a genuine community by buying from local farmers and producers.”

How this tribe survives in Colorado’s worst drought region with as little as 10% of its hard-won water supply

Came across the Ute Mountain Utes tribe Bow & Arrow Brand corn products via this story in Denver Post about how they are dealing with extreme drought conditions. They farm corn and also mill and sell their product directly.

The Ute's story is not one I knew, so the article is interesting and educational on variety of levels:

Across the southwestern United States, agriculture essential to feed the nation requires 80% of water supplies that rapidly are shrinking as temperatures rise. Farmers and ranchers around southwestern Colorado this summer are struggling — selling off cattle, cutting back on planting. Many lack options for adapting like the Utes’ mill that maximizes revenue from whatever can be grown. Some have taken second jobs in retail stores and serving tourists.
