  • The Ripple Effect: Bobo’s 🌾⁠ ⁠ What happens when a homemade oat bar, a determined founder, and a strong community come together?⁠ ⁠ You get Bobo’s, a Colorado brand that grew from a mother-and-daughter recipe into a nationally loved snack brand.⁠ ⁠ Beryl Stafford started Bobo’s by baking oat treats in her kitchen and hand-delivering them to local coffee shops and markets. With no formal food business experience, she learned by doing — navigating sales, packaging, food safety, production, and growth one step at a time.⁠ ⁠ But Bobo’s story wasn’t built on grit alone. Community played a major role.⁠ ⁠ Through Naturally Colorado, Beryl found mentorship, connections, and fellow founders who were navigating many of the same challenges. She connected with other entrepreneurs, including Justin Gold of Justin’s Nut Butter, and even found opportunities to share resources and kitchen space as both businesses were getting started.⁠ ⁠ That community helped Beryl make smarter decisions, navigate retail, and stay the course as Bobo’s grew.⁠ ⁠ Today, Bobo’s has expanded from a kitchen-table operation into a company with more than 125,000 square feet of production space and 500+ employees — while staying grounded in the simple, nourishing products that started it all.⁠ ⁠ Beryl’s advice to emerging entrepreneurs? “Don’t do it alone.”⁠ ⁠ That’s the Ripple Effect: one connection can lead to another, one piece of mentorship can change a decision, and one growing brand can help strengthen an entire ecosystem.⁠ ⁠ From kitchen-table beginnings to a Colorado-grown legacy brand, Bobo’s is a powerful example of what can happen when grit meets community.⁠ ⁠ Read the full story of Bobo’s and the Naturally Colorado community’s role in its journey at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ #TheRippleEffect #NaturallyColorado #Bobos #ColoradoCPG #ColoradoFood #CPGCommunity #NaturalProducts #ColoradoEntrepreneurs #CommunityPowered⁠
  • Marketing Forum: Growth & Measurement: Leveraging the New AI Retail Shelf to Drive Revenue⁠ ⁠ How is AI changing the way consumers discover products — and what does that mean for your brand’s growth strategy?⁠ ⁠ Join Naturally Colorado on Friday, October 9 for a Marketing Forum focused on the evolving AI retail landscape and how brands can use new tools, insights, and measurement approaches to drive revenue.⁠ ⁠ We’ll explore what the “AI retail shelf” means for marketers and how brands can think about growth and measurement as the way consumers search, discover, and shop continues to change.⁠ ⁠ Friday, October 9⁠ 9:30–11:00 AM MT⁠ PHI Hub Conference, 4965 E 48th Ave, Denver, CO 80216⁠ ⁠ Featuring Meredith McTigue, with Novi Connect and SchroderHaus Marketing.⁠ ⁠ Come connect with fellow Colorado CPG marketers, learn what’s changing, and leave with ideas you can put into practice.⁠ ⁠ Register today!⁠ ⁠ #NaturallyColorado #MarketingForum #ColoradoCPG #CPGMarketing #AI #RetailMarketing #BrandGrowth #MarketingStrategy⁠

  • The Partners Behind Summit to Shelf 🌱⁠ ⁠ Summit to Shelf is stronger because of the partners who believe in Colorado’s food + ag entrepreneurs—and the communities where they’re building their businesses.⁠ ⁠ A huge thank you to our Summit to Shelf sponsors:⁠ ⁠ 🌾 Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) — supporting rural entrepreneurship, economic development, and connections to resources across Colorado.⁠ ⁠ 🌱 Colorado Department of Agriculture — supporting Colorado agriculture, food businesses, and the people behind them.⁠ ⁠ 💡 Colorado Enterprise Fund — helping Colorado entrepreneurs access capital, coaching, and resources to grow their businesses.⁠ ⁠ 🥕 Natural Grocers — for its longstanding commitment to natural products, local communities, and the businesses that help make those communities thrive.⁠ ⁠ And a special thank you to Sonya Guarm, Brian Coppom, Nim Patel, and Katie Macarelli for helping make this collaboration possible.⁠ ⁠ This is what Summit to Shelf is about: bringing together the incredible knowledge and entrepreneurship already on the West Slope with partners, resources, and connections from across Colorado.⁠ ⁠ Join us in Durango on October 5 for Summit to Shelf: Scaling Food + Ag Businesses on the West Slope.⁠ ⁠ Come learn. Make connections. Find resources. And be part of what we’re building together.⁠ ⁠ #SummitToShelf #NaturallyColorado #ColoradoFoodAndAg #WestSlope #DurangoColorado #ColoradoEntrepreneurs
