Summary
Colorado’s iconic crops—Olathe corn, Palisade peaches, Rocky Ford melons, and Pueblo chiles—are hitting shelves despite a brutal growing season marked by drought, early water shutoffs, and even a near-miss freeze. Farmers are pushing through with grit, delivering flavor-packed produce at steady prices, while urging consumers to grab these seasonal gems before they’re gone. From chiles that taste great despite reduced planting to melons commanding a premium, and corn battling smoke and pests, resilience is the theme. With irrigation ending by Labor Day, farmers are counting on your support to keep Colorado’s signature flavors alive.
