Why choose local? 🥩🥓🍗

Because your food choices have an impact.💪

Choosing locally raised food:
• supports the farmers and ranchers who care for our land
• strengthens our local economy
• builds a more resilient food system right here in the Yampa Valley
• and it tastes better!!😋🙌

This fall, put those values into action with our Fall Meat CSA.

Enjoy a rotating selection of locally raised beef, pork, lamb and poultry through six pickups, with an average savings of 30% on locally raised products.

⏰Only 12 shares remain!

Choose local. Know your producers. Invest in the future of agriculture in our community.

Sign up for your Fall Meat CSA today!

The best part about a farm-to-table brunch?
Where do we start?🥂✨

We’re still thinking about our Endless Summer Brunch with Primrose Steamboat earlier this month.

The food was incredible, the company was even better, and enjoying a meal right on Yampa Street was such a fun way to celebrate local food and community.

A huge thank you to Chef Collin, the entire Primrose team, our incredible local producers, and everyone who showed up and made this event so special.

Missed out? We have two more farm-to-table events coming this fall:

📍 September 10 at DeLine Ranch
📍 October 25 at The Lodge and Spa at Three Forks Ranch
🔗 Tickets at communityagalliance.org

We hope to see you around the table!
