Colorado’s Oldest Candy Factory Still Gives Tours That Feel Straight Out Of The 1950s

Some candy makers still pull hot sugar on metal hooks, by hand, like it’s a normal Tuesday. I don’t need an excuse to find that interesting. I’m perfectly happy being impressed by grown adults twisting candy canes with their bare skill. Many of the machines in this...

Grocery store meat prices keep climbing, and plenty of Colorado families have started doing what their grandparents did: buying in bulk from a real butcher. A full freezer means fewer last-minute store runs and more control over what lands on the dinner table. The shops on this list range from a ranch outside Fort Collins with roots back to 1903 to a wholesale market in the San Luis Valley.

Colorado home sales plunge in October, clouding 2027 outlook

Data: Colorado Association of Realtors ; Chart: John Frank/Axios Colorado's housing market took a nosedive in October, with cautious buyers contributing to a sharp decline in sales and more seller concessions. Why it matters: High housing and financing costs are forcing sellers to lower prices, sidelining buyers and keeping homeowners stuck in place. State of play: Colorado recorded 6,079 home sales in October, down 19% from a year earlier, while pending contracts dropped 17%, according to the latest Colorado Association of Realtors report. The statewide median sale price slipped 1% to $545,000, offering little relief for buyers. New listings fell 8.9% and active inventory was down 2.4% to 33,455 properties. Reality check: Home sales typically slow this time of year. Yes, but: October's decline was far steeper than the average 4.2% drop through the first 10 months of 2026, underscoring the market's weakening momentum heading into the new year. What they're saying: "Many sellers continue to put greed in front of logic and buyers continue to put personal finances in front of home purchases. In the middle is an entire industry getting iced out of what was once a very busy market," said Colorado Springs-area real estate agent Patrick Muldoon.

At Colorado State University Spur, horticulture graduate student Reece Bailey is investigating whether saffron could become a profitable addition to the state’s farms. His experiments in the campus’s urban gardens and green roof research areas are testing how the crop handles Colorado’s climate, how much water it needs, and whether growing it beneath solar panels improves production.

Colorado mountain leaders believe a new U.S. Forest Service rule could be a ‘gamechanger’ for affordable housing projects on federal land

Colorado mountain leaders believe a new U.S. Forest Service rule could benefit efforts to build affordable housing on federal lands. The Forest Service announced late last month that the finalized rules for its administrative site leasing program would take effect on Dec. 2. The program, established in the 2018 Farm Bill, allows agencies to lease or exchange underutilized administrative properties — such as ranger stations, storage facilities and office spaces — to third parties including local governments or private partners.
