The area around Brighton, Colorado, some twenty miles northwest of Denver, has until recently been agricultural. Small farmers put in wheat, but most of them grew cabbage, lettuce, onions, beets, tomatoes, squash, and so on. Come fall, produce stands popped up along the roads and byways of Adams County, and you could buy fresh vegetables for your table that week. Across the county, women used to don their aprons every autumn and can up a storm, putting away canned goods for the winter.
