Brighton

Certified organic since it opened in 1983, this family farm at 13785 Potomac Street in Brighton runs a pick-your-own operation, a CSA, and a roadside market. Beyond selling produce, they run school tours, kids' summer classes, cooking classes, and Jr. Farmer Days, the kind of programming that turns a farm visit into a full outing rather than a produce run.

This Aurora market sits along East Alameda Avenue, pulling in vendors selling produce and other goods sourced locally rather than through wholesale distributors.

It closes the rest of the year, so timing a visit matters.

This weekly street market takes over Skyline Park at the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe Street in downtown Denver, mixing farm-fresh produce and baked goods with prepared food and live entertainment.

No website, market listing, or news coverage turned up for a Colorado seller by this name. "Alex's home-grown beef" reads like a small direct-to-consumer operation selling at a farmers market or by word of mouth rather than online, which is common for single-family beef producers in Colorado.
