The Start to BoulderLocavore.com in 2010

I originally started Boulder Locavore out of a personal food experiment to see if I could exist over a Colorado winter, sourcing all my protein and produce from within a 100-mile radius (which is what a ‘locavore’ is!).

I succeeded and in the process discovered surprising local food resources for sourcing winter food, and new ways of keeping food I wouldn’t have found without my dedicated quest.

After many requests to share my findings, I started Boulder Locavore as a depository to share all my finds.

As part of the early days I began sharing seasonal recipes. When eating seasonally, the ingredients are the star attraction and the recipe follows.

Readers all over the United States and the world began to follow those recipes which shaped the direction of BoulderLocavore.com to what it is today.

The first blog post I ever wrote, And So It Begins…, shares more about what lead me to start Boulder Locavore.
