Great Diversity, One Organization

Fruit and vegetable sales in Colorado total almost $300 million, and that number multiples as produce makes it way through distribution channels. More than 85,000 acres are devoted to fruit and vegetable production. In addition to supplying local produce, the industry contributes to wide open spaces, attractive landscapes and enrichment of soils for all Coloradans to enjoy.

Although farm size, produce grown, marketing channels and production methods vary throughout the Colorado produce industry, there is a great deal we have in common. And when we join together with one voice, we are more likely to be heard by government, the produce industry and the consuming public. Whether you are a produce grower, an allied industry that sells goods and services to the produce industry or any other individual or organization with an interest in Colorado produce, we'd love to have you join and get involved with the Colorado Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association.
