Hello Richard,
Check out Source Local out of Boulder Co. They are a new start up that is
distributing local foods that could get you connected to the folks who are
making Co food happen on an economically sustainable scale. You could also
try and establish a buying club for the things you may find hard to produce
such as dairy, meat and grains that these folks are sourcing and
distributing in bulk at wholesale pricing.

Hi,
My name is Richard and I live in Wheat Ridge, CO and I am getting real tired
of food prices rising faster than inflation or commodity prices. So, I am on
a quest to start an Urban Farming project under a Cooperative business model
to do two things: 1) get people of like mind to join me in growning more of
our own food and sharing excess; 2) as we grow selling excess production to:
A) fund the movement; B) fund outreach and education to school age children
and intereted adults; C) be financially viable to stay in business and
generate an income ( PT/ for FT) for the cooperative members.
A big idea that I've already started in my own yard. Anyone who live or
knows someone who live near me that would be interested in joining me,
please have them email me.
