WelcomeOA NOTE FROM THE COORDINATORn behalf of University of Wyoming Extension, I am pleased to present the 2021 Wyoming Specialty CropDirectory. UW Extension is a community development organization dedicated to helping Wyoming’s peopleand its communities improve the quality of life, and encouraging residents and visitors to buy locally producedfoods is an important part of creating a more robust food system and economy.Our enthusiasm for developing and promoting the food system is shared by our project funders. Grant fundingfor this effort came from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service through fundsprovided to the Wyoming Department of Agriculture’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.With these funds we created this directory to help connect people in Wyoming with edible specialty crops,including fresh vegetables and fruits, culinary herbs and spices, honey, and homemade goods containing specialtycrops such as jams, jellies, barbecue and hot sauces, salsas, pickled and fermented vegetables, fruit pies, and wine.We also hope that farmers and others who produce food will use this directory to connect with their peers as theydevelop their skills and personal connections.In short, we hope that this directory: Helps residents and visitors find and support Wyoming’s local food producers. Connects food entrepreneurs with like-minded peers. Helps educate producers and others about available resources on a local, state, and national level.Thank you!The information in this directory was collected by Robert Waggener, who worked tirelessly to support Wyoming’sagriculture, specialty crop producers, farmers’ markets, CSAs, businesses that sell locally produced foods, andmany others, including UW Extension offices, local conservation districts, community and school gardens,educational programs, and agencies that are involved in some way with specialty crops.Please enjoy this opportunity to support the local food movement.Cole EhmkeUniversity of Wyoming Extension specialistDepartment of Agricultural and Applied Economics, UW College of Agriculture and Natural ResourcesEditor: Robert WaggenerGraphic designer: Tana Stith, T2 CommunicationsCopyright 2021 by the University of Wyoming.
