Did you know? More than 3,000,000 acres of land are protected in Colorado using conservation easements. That extraordinary number has only been reached due to the collaborative effort of many organizations. Colorado Open Lands is a land trust that operates statewide in Colorado. Many additional land trusts and government organizations operate in specific regions to conserve land. Conserved Colorado represents the work of 14 organizations, including DLC, and countless landowners and partners!
This guide includes more than 40 businesses that sell products or experiences! Products include fresh summer fruits and vegetables, dairy and eggs, hay and feed, and personal care items infused with lavender. Experiences include horseback rides, wine tasting in Palisade, fly-fishing adventures, and education experiences to connect with Colorado.
There’s also restaurants, stores, and farmers markets across the state that sell products from these 40+ businesses!
