Hirakata Farms shared Pueblo Chile Growers Association's post. ...

The Pueblo Chile Growers Association is proud to celebrate the 2018 recipient of the Charles W. Crews Business Leader Award, Dr. Mike Bartolo, who will be honored at the Legacy Bank Small Business Awards Luncheon on Thursday, April 12th. Dr. Mike Bartolo has been instrumental in the development of the Pueblo Chile brand, as the manager of the Colorado State University’s Arkansas Valley Research Center, located near Rocky Ford, CO. He was born and raised on a small farm east of Pueblo on the St. Charles Mesa. His grandparents and great grandparents emigrated from Italy in the early 1900’s to farm on the Mesa and in Vineland. For the past 28 years, he has conducted research to support commercial vegetable crop production in the Arkansas Valley and other parts of the state. His research has concentrated on developing improved production practices to conserve water, enhance the yield and nutritional quality of vegetable crops, and extend the growing season. In addition, he has worked to develop chile-pepper varieties that are adapted to local growing conditions and has developed numerous educational programs to bring vegetable growers in compliance with food safety, labor, and resource conservation regulations. In the process of this work, he has also served as a founding member of the Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association. THANK YOU Dr. Mike from the Grower's and the all the Consumers of Pueblo Chile! For more information on Dr. Mike Bartolo and his many contributions to our community, make your RSVP today for the Legacy Bank Small Business Awards Luncheon by contacting the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce today! 719.542.1704 CSU Extension Colorado Proud Colorado Department of Agriculture Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association Pueblo County
