FARM-TO-TABLE Savor the Difference The differences in our climate provides the perfect recipe for growing exceptional fruits and vegetables just minutes from area restaurants, making our farm-to-table scene truly extraordinary. At our altitude, our nights are cool, but our days are balmy. Combine this with fertile soils and snow-fed water for irrigation, and that’s why generations of our farmers have grown peaches, apples, tomatoes and peppers that are famous throughout Colorado for their delicious flavors. More recently, farmers are specializing in micro greens like arugula, cilantro and kale to provide a true feast from the fields for local restaurants. Chefs from around the area are using these fresh ingredients in new ways to create delicious dishes that surprise and delight.
