The Natural Products Industry
in Boulder

Ever since 1896, when the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium (a retreat focused on the enjoyment of fresh air and plant-based eating for health) opened here, Boulder has marketed itself as a natural wellness sanctuary. Over time, Boulder's healthy lifestyle and eco-friendly ethos spawned a slew of natural food manufacturers and healthy-living products, making it home to the nation's largest concentration of natural and organic products companies.

"If there’s a secret ingredient to the industry’s continuing growth [in Boulder], it’s a spirit of camaraderie among the entrepreneurs who share a passion for natural foods." — Forbes.com

Your attendees will see the natural health movement as part of daily life in Boulder — yoga-pants-clad students toting green smoothies, people biking to work in every weather, and Birkenstocks...lots and lots of Birkenstocks. In all seriousness, your group will find inspiration here among like-minded folks.
