I've discovered four great resources, three being very useful data searches, that can help you localize your Thanksgiving -along with the rest of the year of course! 

Eat Local First Local Flavor Guide

It's loaded with information about farmers' markets, local food producers & markets, a local dining map, reviews of local restaurants and more! All focused on the Denver Metro area.

Find What's Fresh & In Season in Your Region:

The NRDC has compiled a plethora of data on crop types, regions, and growing seasons. All of this information as been put into a searchable database so that you can look up what is in season when and where. Additionally, you can see what is available in other neighboring regions.

Find Farmers' Markets Near You:

Localharvest.org. hosts this great farmers' market search. Type in your location (zipcode, city, or state) to find the farmers' markets near you!

Though the outdoor farmers' markets have closed, there are many indoor marketplaces specializing in local food like In Season Local Market located in the Highlands.

Find CSAs Near You:

Another great search tool from localharvest.org.

We recommend these local CSAs that operate in Eastern Colorado: Grant Farms & Urbiculture Farms.
