CNGA asked our wholesale members to share how their season went, because every time we visit members, the first question we hear is: “What are you hearing? How’s everyone else’s season going?” The answers are never the same, and that’s what makes this survey so valuable.
Thanks to your input, we’ve been able to capture a clearer snapshot of how the season shaped up across our community. These results reflect the diversity, challenges, and successes of growers and suppliers across Colorado, helping all of us see the bigger picture together. Here are the results:
