OUR LOCAL PARTNERS
​
At Megan's Mushrooms, we believe that there is incredible value in eating and buying local. When we participate in a farmer's market we go home with enough healthy, locally sourced food to almost completely avoid the grocery stores and we feel so grateful for that opportunity. Eating and buying local means that a larger portion of your money goes to supporting other local businesses. There are priceless benefits to supporting small, local businesses that help take back our basic and unique commodities from multinational corporations. When our community thrives with unique local trades, it creates a community-minded and unique character that distinguishes our locale as a strong, thriving and self-supportive society.
Supporting a local economy means more locally supported jobs, less environmental impact as your food and goods have less distance to travel, and a healthier community as a whole.
We encourage you to explore your local community! To get started, see some of our local partner's sites, services and goods. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the ranch: Along the beautiful front range in Colorado my family and I have been raising our animals and working to live a 100% chemical free life for 20 years. Every day our animals get the attention and care they deserve, while we are creating a wholesome environment in which the animals thrive.
Here in The Black Forest you will find the poultry, to include Turkeys, Ducks & Chickens, happily free ranging amongst our Pasture Raised Pigs all under the watchful eyes of our Livestock Guardian Dogs. The cattle are currently grazing in southern Colorado currently where they will then be grain finished.
