> Founded by James Beard-nominated chef Kelly Whitaker in Boulder, Dry Storage operates as a comprehensive grain-to-table operation featuring a mill, bakery, cafe, and research laboratory. Whitaker built a 3,000-square-foot milling facility that grinds 200 acres of Colorado grains using traditional granite stone, producing nearly 1 million pounds of milled flour in its first year. He describes this as 'a regional grain opportunity at the highest level,' connecting distillers, maltsters, brewers, and bakers to regional farmland. Using five heirloom grain varieties chosen for regenerative properties, Whitaker explains that locally-grown grains are 'culturally relevant' to Colorado and views grains as 'a beautiful medium for year-round menus.' The operation serves sourdough, French baguettes, English muffins, and seeded loaves alongside natural wine and craft beer, aiming to 'change the white-bread sandwich mentality' while selling flour to retail customers and wholesale to chefs.

> Founded five years ago by Robbie Smith and Ashley Paige, Denver Pops began with a single stand at City Park Farmer's Market and has grown to sell over 300,000 popsicles annually. The couple prioritized family involvement from the start, with Smith explaining: 'We have two kids and we wanted to do something where we could involve them.' Their 10-year-old daughters Bella and Chloe assist during summer visits, making it 'a dream come true, because we get to hang out with our kids while we work.' Denver Pops features 34 flavors made exclusively with locally sourced ingredients without artificial additives or dyes. Regarding their self-distribution strategy, Paige states: 'We want to make sure we deliver the best product possible.' Beyond farmers' markets, they now supply Whole Foods, recreation centers, campgrounds, and vendors statewide, with expansion into franchising underway.
