Paonia When Monica Wiitanen and her husband, Wayne, bought their 10.5-acre Paonia farm in 1997, there was one thing missing: the ability to “turn excess produce into other things and sell them, as farmers have always traditionally done,” she says. When Wiitanen, who’s 72, learned about other states passing cottage food laws, she was inspired to take up the cause in Colorado. She proceeded to drop off her own sourdough loaves—along with calls for change—to then state legislator Gail Schwartz, who eventually helped champion the Centennial State’s own Cottage Foods Act (CFA) legislation, which passed in 2012. As a CFA pioneer, it’s only fitting that Wiitanen now runs a thriving home baking operation. She and her staff make more than 100 loaves of bread, as well as cinnamon rolls, buns, and pita rounds, in her outdoor wood-fired oven every week, often using San Luis Valley wheat Wiitanen mills herself. While the supplemental cash flow is nice, Wiitanen is even happier that Colorado’s CFA—“one of the best in the country,” due to higher earning limits and a relatively long list of eligible products—has allowed others in Delta County, in particular, to make their farms more financially viable. “With our short irrigation season,” she says, “it’s helpful for farmers to be able to do this year-round.”How To Buy: Visit the Bakery at Small Potatoes Farm on Fridays from 3 to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; loaves start at $6. 40575 O Road, Paonia, 970-527-4051
