Pumpkins, which local farmers call “punkins,” are difficult to grow profitably on a small farm. They must be farmed on different plots every two to three years, or they can become diseased. Seeds are planted after Mother’s Day in May, and harvest comes four or five months later. Buyers typically want pumpkins only during a six-week stretch, leading up to Halloween. That puts enormous pressure on growers to cash in during a small window.

Roast plain sunflower seeds  on a cookie sheet in a 300 degreeFahrenheit oven for 15 to 25 minutes. If you like salted seeds, soak them overnight in a brine of two quarts of water to 1/4 to 1/2 cup of salt. The next morning, boil the seed brine with the seeds for a few minutes and drain. Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet and roast in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven for three hours or until crisp. If roasted long enough, they are easy to shell. If preferred, you can baste them with just a little butter while they are roasting. Stir or shake occasionally so they roast evenly.

The six-year-old law allows Centennial Staters to make no-refrigeration-required foodstuffs—breads, cookies, pastries, preserves, pickles, and the like—in their home kitchens and sell their scratch-made wares (as well as eggs, honey, tea, and more) from their yards, at local markets and events, and online. Producers working under this law need only take a food-safety class to be certified; they also have to maintain a clean kitchen, properly label their packaging, pay sales taxes, and sell directly to consumers within our state’s rectangular borders. Sound easy? It actually is—much more so than leasing a commercial kitchen just to bake and sell a few hundred pies or cookies. Intrepid producers can earn up to $10,000 in net revenue per year, per CFA product (e.g., brownies are one product, and brownies with walnuts are considered a different product)—meaning it’s not out of the question for folks to earn a decent living from the comfort of their own home kitchens, for the delicious benefit of their fellow Coloradans.
