I think it will be a positive step in helping to protect Colorado consumers and benefit Colorado agriculture. A color logo is available to be used on products that meet the standards listed above to anyone who submit a license agreement verifying their eligibility and agreeing to comply with the logo use guidelines with the Colorado Department of Agriculture. There is no cost to participate in the program. Art is free to those who need it for their box or package maker. A label can be purchased from the Colorado Department of Agriculture for the cost of printing.
Producers are also free to incorporate the logo into their own labels.
We now have 183 companies licensed with the Colorado Proud Program but are hoping to expand soon. Restaurants are a place we would like to see some growth. When a restaurant serves something that is Colorado-made, it can put a logo on its menus. A sticker that says, 'Serving Colorado Cuisine,' is also available that restaurant managers can place in their windows. All rights reserved.
