Accessing the Co-Brand


The Colorado Grown Grains Co-Brand may be used by any business or partner that grows, uses, or distributes grains grown in Colorado, including: farmers, millers, bakers, brewers, distillers, chefs, CSA's, farm stands or farm subscription programs.

We also welcome partners such as farmers' markets, agri-tourism, food hubs, local retailers, restaurants, online markets, and institutions to use the co-brand.

The co-brand seeks to expand the marketplace for Colorado grown grains by increasing consumer awareness and emphasizing the value of products made with local grains.

We ask that all using the co-brand pledge to incorporate at least 20% of grains grown in Colorado in their products, while committing to increased whole grain content for nutrient quality.
