A new website at ChaffeeProvides.org at its essence is a local food guide that is much more compelling than a list of names and numbers.
âWe feature ranchers and farmers to connect them, their stories and their products to local consumers,â said Envision Chaffee County outreach coordinator Kim Marquis.Â
Envision partnered with Guidestone Colorado to create the online directory with grant funding from the Chaffee County Community Foundation and a Chaffee Common Ground mini-grant.
ChaffeeProvides.org helps consumers buy locally and enjoy knowing who and where their food comes from, Marquis said. The website is an easy information access point to find ranchers and farmers selling their products, as well as brick-and-mortar markets and restaurants, and food banks that provide resources to community members.
