We welcome you to Grant Family Farms!

Grant Family Farms lies in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We have a deep belief that we should grow product that is best for your health in a way that makes us a responsible steward of planet Earth. For this reason, for the past twenty-five years, we have been growing organic vegetables. Our farm was the first to be certified organic by the State of Colorado. We started in a very small way as Lewis Grant, a Professor at Colorado State University, and his young son, Andy, began to grow vegetables in the 60's. This start proved to be the spark that created a passion in Andy for vegetable production that blossomed to the 3,000 acres we farm today. In 1975, Andy committed to transform our farm to the organic growing method. His commitment at that time was revolutionary. Now, twenty-five years later, we have become a leader in the production of high quality Certified Organic Vegetables and Grains.

The main crops we grow are Cabbage, Lettuce, Spinach, Summer Greens and Herbs, Broccoli, Summer and Winter Squash and Wheat. We grow these products not only for the fresh market, but also for the frozen and processed industries. However, we also do other wonderfully creative things such as make garlic and pepper garlands and very decorative Christmas wreaths for the festive season. We are flexible, creative and have the ability to tackle just about any special project or idea... with flair!

Our Commitment to Quality

Our commitment is to provide you with the highest quality vegetables from April through November. This commitment begins with our growing only organic vegetables and extends through to the quality of the vegetable your customer takes home:

• We plant using only the highest quality varieties and seeds.
• We harvest only when the vegetables are in peak condition.
• We take care of our vegetables after harvest to ensure they maintain their peak condition.
• A hydrovac instantly removes the field heat and the product reaches you with excellent shelf life. Where the product warrants, we will employ the use of a hydrocooler and a liquid ice system.
• We carefully place pack our vegetables so that when you open the box they are in the same condition as when they left our cold storage. Should your customer happen to be there as you place the vegetables on the rack, they too will be impressed by the care with which we pack and ship our product. Like your Mom used to say, "a place for everything and everything in its place"... an organized pack goes a long way toward the reduction of shrinkage in your store!
• We attach point of sale to our vegetables so your customer will be able to identify the item and know how to prepare it when they arrive home. We have and continue to be a leader in UPC and PLU innovation!

Food Safety

Being an organic grower, the philosphy that we live by is: "To produce food that is both safe and good for your health!"

We have in place both Good Agricultural Practices for our fields and Good Management Practices for our packing sheds and cold storage. We conduct Independent Third Party Audits during our season.

Organic Certification

We were the first in the state to be certified with the Colorado Department of Agriculture. With Federal Organic Standards now in place, we will be seeking national certification within the next year. In the past we have been certified by California Certified Organic Farmers(CCOF), Oregon Tilth (OT), and Organic Growers Business Association (OGBA) for special projects.
