The floods were devastating for many farms
Millions of dollars in flood relief is pouring into Colorado. However, almost nothing is targeted to aid local farms, ranches and food-related businesses. Small producers do not have crop insurance, and certainly don't have flood insurance. They need our help.
Local Food Shift Group, in collaboration with the Community Foundation for Boulder County and the Boulder County Farmers Market, has created the Front Range Farm Relief Fund . You can donate through the the Community Foundation by clicking here and select "Front Range Farm Relief Fund" from the pulldown menu under "I want my donation to be designated toward:" to apply your donation toward this fund.
In addition, a number of individual farms and ranches have established their own fund raising efforts, including the following:
Sylvan Dale Ranch (Loveland, CO)

A new website serves as a comprehensive one-stop location for information about recovery efforts related to the historic flooding in Colorado. The website, www.ColoradoUnited.com, includes the latest recovery news, current information about impacted areas and how to get help. There is also a place where the public can contact the Recovery Office through a simple form that will be reviewed and responded to within 24 hours.
