Meet the Founder

Sarah Peterson

I believe food carries energy. When it’s grown in living soil, harvested by hand, and shared within community, it nourishes more than our bodies — it strengthens connection.

Paonia is my home. The Roaring Fork Valley is where I grew up. This work is my way of bridging the two — connecting people directly to the farms, the stories, and the vitality of the land that feeds them.

To me, this isn’t just about groceries. It’s about relationship. Soil to farmer. Farmer to family. Valley to valley.

With Gratitude,

Sarah Peterson

Donate a Food Box


For just $20, you can donate a Food Box that provides a dozen local eggs, a bag of fresh greens, a bag of mixed vegetables, and a loaf of artisan bread from Mountain Oven.

Each donated box goes directly to stock the Free Fridge in downtown Paonia, offering nourishing, locally grown food to individuals and families in need.

It’s a simple way to turn community abundance into shared care.
