Created In Colorado Newsletter,
Issue #12--November 2013
Back to Created In Colorado Newsletter Back Issues Page
This is your monthly CinCO Newsletter keeping you informed about exciting new producers, artists and local growers!
It’s the month for being thankful. About this time a couple of
centuries ago our ancestors were planning a celebration of life,
plenitude and the success of surviving one more year as pioneers in a
new dangerous land.
Today we celebrate Thanksgiving with rich foods, family and friends.
One trend I have observed over the past couple of days is my Facebook
friends giving thanks each day for what they are gracious for. Don’t
you think that really embodies the meaning of Thanksgiving?
So today I am giving you an opportunity to give thanks for local eats
once again. Just like the early pioneers did. Below are some turkey
and local eats suggestions that can both decrease your workload and
enhance your thanksgiving spread.
There are a few other hot topics created in Colorado I want to share with you as well, so after finding your turkey, read on.
Locally Raised Turkey
Here are some suggestions for local turkey farmers. A fresh local
turkey can be a powerful focal point to a special Thanksgiving meal.
Indian Ridge Farms
Black Canyon Foods
Colorado Sustainable Farms
Arriola Sunshine Farms
Blessed Creek Farm
We are awfully close to D-Day for Turkeys so, if these farms are out of
stock then also check with local CSA's and farmers markets for fresh
local turkeys.
Reduce your workload and order your fresh baked bread and baked desserts for Thanksgiving. The power of fresh baked bread and desserts is undeniable. It makes or breaks a feast. Find a local bakery in your area and get your order in early, you don’t want to miss out!

I know of one bakery that is planning delivery of their trademark slow risen wild yeast breads and treats the day before Thanksgiving, The Bin Bakery. The Bin also bakes some tasty desserts such as the hand pies you see above.
Here Comes the Holidays ... start now

Got Lone Cone Art? Have someone on your list that loves great artwork? I have a suggestion that is sure to please them, and it will cost you nothing!!! Nothing? Well, not nothing, but next to nothing. Please vote for your favorite Lone Cone artwork or photograph and you will be entered into a drawing to win your choice of one of four prints of the Lone Cone by local Colorado artists. Visit www.created-in-colorado.com/lonecone.html and tell us your favorite. You can also share your favorite photo or artwork on there as well! |
Peace and Love Reduce your Holiday gift load by beginning now and getting your gift orders placed and shipped before holiday crunch time begins. I have one gift in mind that needs to be ordered by the 15th of November. A Peace and Love ornament created by IM Silver. This beautiful custom and inexpensive created in Colorado ornament is the perfect item to commemorate this year’s holiday season. And one more thing, a portion of proceeds from each ornament sold goes to Hospice. |
