Just added: Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Colorado is, by nature, an agricultural state. Though it may be a month or more before our farmer’s markets open (they are considered essential businesses), in the meantime there are other options instead of the supermarket for locally-grown fruit, vegetables, meat and more. Some are wholesalers who are opening their doors to retail customers because of so many restaurant closures. Others are restaurants, butcher shops, farmers or specialty retailers. We plan to update this list, so bookmark it and keep checking back.
Check each company for details for pick-up and delivery options. Also, be sure to scan each company’s offerings — some sell only in bulk or prepackaged boxes, others let you pick and choose specific items. If you know of other local markets or vendors selling to the general public, please send an email to Laura@milehighonthecheap.com and I’ll try and add it to the list.

Laura another option for people is a place called Dream Dinners. They are a meal assembly company that has 17 new menu items to choose from each month. People come and assemble a months worth of meals at one time take them home and put them in their freezer. However with the virus they are now assembling all the meals for customers and offering curb side pick ups. Staff is all serve safe certified so they know how to prepare these meals safely. There are 4 locations Arvada, Centennial, Colorado Springs and Parker. They have been around since 2002. Full disclosure I own the Arvada store (I bought it last year and moved it to Arvada on 24th of February). We had planned a Re-grand opening so people knew we were there but then COVID-19 hit. We are definitely a safe alternative to the grocery store and are excited to serve or community.

The What Chef’s Want Denver Food Box appears to no longer be available. :(
Does anyone deliver a weekly box of organic produce? C470/Quebec area?
Shannon — I would suggest you Google Colorado Proud. That is the Colo. Dept. of Agriculture website. They have a list of CSAs you can join where you receive a box of produce every week. Some may deliver, others you may have to pickup in your area. The list is long so you need to just go through and find one that includes your neighborhood. — Laura
Just Be Kitchen has pantry items and produce available!
Thanks. We are unable to track down a list or menu of what is available for purchase. If you find it, send it to us at info@milehighonthecheap.com and we’ll add to our list. — Laura
5280 Produce changed their prices. It’s $22 for a small box and $30 for a large.
Would love to know the size of the burgers in the places that are doing the meal kits – also maybe some more options on the south side of town – seems to be alot that are north or west . This is some great info and appreciate this !!
Jeannine, Unfortunately we don’t have the manpower to put in all the details. You may just need to check each site for their menu (they do list sizes/ounces/pounds). As to more in your area, you should probably look to the restaurant chains. Likely there are some with outlets near your neighborhood. — Laura
