Paonia! Need some help. I posted in here awhile back about finding sources for a story for Colorado Life magazine which will feature 11 food artisans on the Western slope. Some of my contacts have fallen through. I need to replace these sources ASAP. I am looking for:
A honey producer (not Austin Farms)
A chocolate maker (have reached out to Drost in Eckert but they are closed today)
A bread baker
Two other producers that I am flexible on.
Avalanche is out because this magazine has already done a feature on them within the last two years.
I am NOT looking for farms in general or raw fruits/vegetables. It must be a product that could be packaged and sold such as jams, jellies, sauces, green chiles, fruit syrups, etc. The more unique, the better. It must be available for purchase in a store, farmers market or online, not just something someone makes for a hobby. And they can't all be from Paonia (boo). I'm especially looking for someone from Telluride, Durango, Delta, Ouray, or cities in between. I do need at least one from Paonia, though. I am on a very tight deadline since the others backed out, so would need to connect with these sources ASAP. Thanks in advance for any help!
