We are updating the San Luis Valley Local Roots Guide!
If you would like to update your listing, or be listed for the first time, please review our core values below, and email us at jae@slvlocalfoods.org.
“On the following pages, you will meet the farmers and ranchers who are growing locally and making their abundance available to the good people of the San Luis Valley and beyond.
This guide is dedicated to those who till the earth and tend the animals: to those who grow their own food and to those who grow it for others. Thank you for the bountiful harvest.”
