Vendor Profile: Rocky Mountain Salsa


By: Patrick Miller, Master Gardener

It is a hot summer day in Fort Collins. What would be nicer than a siesta with a cool beverage and some tortilla chips and salsa. OK, so now you have decided that nothing sounds better and are on a mission. No ice cream truck or gelato store can stand in your way! The first thing you do is go to the grocery store and find the chip aisle. You decide that most any brand or kind of chip will work, because everyone knows that the chip is simply the “carrier” for the goodies you have to scoop, spread, dip or dollop.

Next, you go to the salsa isle and what do you do? Drop your chin to the floor as you discover how many choices you have?! No, but trying to decide which kind to purchase can be a daunting task. But let me make this easy for you with a bit of advice: Rocky Mountain Salsa! Using fresh onions and cilantro, Amy Lasley has created a product with no added preservatives, sugar or vinegar. And besides being local and supporting of Colorado agriculture and the Larimer County Farmers' Market, this is darn-good stuff! But don’t let me decide for you, try it yourself! You won’t be disappointed.

Rocky Mountain Salsa is available at Jax® Outdoor Gear, Beavers, The Cupboard and several grocery stores across the front-range. For more information, visit Amy's website at http://www.rockymountainsalsa.com/
