Voted the Best Place to Shop Local
Westword - Best of Denver 2010
“This issue may be dated April 1, but it’s no joke. We’re seriously in love with this city, and we’ve spent the last twelve months eating, drinking, shopping, running, biking and dancing our way around Denver. Now we’re spilling our secrets in our 26th annual Best of Denver issue, sharing hundreds of reasons why Denver is the very best place to be, why we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. No foolin’.”
In Season Local Market Voted “Best Place to Shop Local”
“In Season is a tiny green shop with big ideas. Its motto — “If it’s not from here, it’s not in here” — means that the market only stocks products produced within a 250-mile radius of its location in Highland. So while you’ll still have to swing by King Soopers for Tide and toilet paper, In Season’s shelves are stocked with all manner of yummy and surprising foodstuffs, including bread from the Denver Bread Company, cheese from the Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy in Longmont, and pork chops from Socolofsky Farms in Larkspur. Eating pint after pint of Red Trolley ice cream might expand your waistline, but it will shrink your carbon footprint.”
