A Guest Testimonial:
“One of the pleasures of summer in Aspen is the farmers’ market. I still dream about those only-grown-in-Colorado specialty tomatoes. Local vendors show up in force in early June and line the streets for this event. Being a city girl, I didn’t realize Colorado had so many farms. I learned lots talking with the local farmers and ranchers. Do not leave without purchasing some of the Colorado Mountain honey. It is the tastiest treat! Something about the mountain clover that gives it its distinct taste. I also love the artisanal kombucha.”
