Description of business

Include total acres farmed, and your growing approach in your own words (e.g. "beyond organic," "regenerative"). Verifiable certifications are captured separately below.

Type * — select all that apply

A producer can be more than one type (e.g. Fruit & Vegetable and Livestock). Each type you select adds its food-safety questions to this one profile. Food Hub / Distributor uses a separate profile with no safety screener.

Complete as much as you can — answers that fall short of a requirement won't stop you, they just flag a follow-up with our team. One exception: a meat processor without a USDA establishment number is a hard stop and can't list products or distribution.

Food Hub / Distributor

Different profile — no safety screener

Food Hubs and Distributors use a separate, lighter profile (base info, distribution methods, counties served, ordering, identities & affiliations) and are typically added by the Nourish Colorado team via outreach rather than the food-safety screener above.

In this demo we focus on the producer screener tracks; this note marks where the hub flow diverges.

Are you currently accepting new wholesale customers?
