In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th year of statehood, the Colorado Department of Agriculture and History Colorado are releasing a new commemorative coffee table book titled “Setting Colorado’s Table: 150 Years of Agricultural Legacy.”
The limited edition book, written by History Colorado’s Head of Curatorial Services Rachael Storm, explores the state’s rich agricultural narrative through five core themes: Water, Land, Life, Resilience, and Celebration.
As part of this project, History Colorado collected more than two dozen oral histories from people across the state who’ve had a part in shaping our state’s agricultural heritage. To continue the work of protecting Colorado’s soils, $30 from each book sold will go directly to farmers and ranchers to advance their stewardship work through the Colorado Soil Health Program.
