  • 2010 Colorado Farm Fresh Directory
    COLORADO FARM 2010 FRESH Your guide to Colorado farmers' markets, roadside stands, u-picks and agritourism activities. Welcome! The Colorado Department of Agriculture is pleased to present the 26th edition of the Colorado Farm Fresh Directory, your complete guide to farmers’ markets and roadside stands in the state. It is our pleasure to help you locate fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables, along with other farm products. This year’s Farm Fresh Directory lists more than 200 farms, roadside stands, CSAs and u-picks and features 110 farmers’ markets across Colorado. These farms and farmers’ markets feature the highest- quality, Colorado-grown produce. Inside you will also find information about county fairs, agricultural festivals, extension offices as well as a crop calendar. The directory also features agritourism information such as corn mazes, wineries, and farm/ranch vacations. Our goal is to encourage residents and visitors to experience Colorado agriculture. We hope you find this directory helpful and use it throughout the year. In addition to the numerous farms and farmers’ markets listed in this directory, the Colorado Department of Agriculture would like to acknowledge the following organizations for their generous support of Farm Fresh: Colorado Farmers’ Market Association, Colorado Fresh Markets, Colorado MarketMaker, Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, Delta County Tourism, Metro Denver Farmers’ Market, Mile High Marketplace, Miller Farms, Rock Creek Farm and Royal Crest Dairy. Colorado State University Extension for contribution of information and assistance in publicizing and distributing this directory. Colorado’s many libraries, welcome centers, chambers of commerce and private businesses who helped get this directory into your hands.

We hope that this guide will help you appre- ciate this incredible part of Ohio’s natural resources. Family name Common name Scientific name Trees are a magnificent living resource. They provide DECIDUOUS FAMILY BEECH shade, beauty, clean air and water, good soil, as well MERICAN BEECH A Fagus grandifolia as shelter and food for wildlife. They also provide us with products we use every day, from firewood, lum- ber, and paper, to food items such as walnuts and maple syrup. The forest products industry generates $26.3 billion in economic activity in Ohio; however, trees contribute to much more than our economic well-being.

  • 150 Problem Set 4.Pdf
    CS103 Handout 15 Fall 2020 October 9, 2020 Problem Set 4 This fourth problem set explores set cardinality and graph theory. It serves as tour of the infinite (through set theory) and the finite (through graphs and their properties) and will give you a better sense for how discrete mathematical structures connect across these domains. Plus, you’ll get to see some pretty pictures and learn about why all this matters in the first place. Some of the questions on this problem set will assume you’ve read the online Guide to Cantor’s The- orem, which goes into more detail about the mechanics of the proof of Cantor’s theorem as well as some auxiliary definitions. Good luck, and have fun! Due Friday, October 16th at 12:00PM noon Pacific 2 / 6 Problem One: Cartesian Products and Set Cardinalities If A and B are sets, the Cartesian product of A and B, denoted A × B, is the set { (x, y) | x ∈ A ∧ y ∈ B }. Intuitively, A × B is the set of all ordered pairs you can make by taking one element from A and one ele- ment from B, in that order. For example, the set {1, 2} × {u, v, w} is { (1, u), (1, v), (1, w), (2, u), (2, v), (2, w) }. For the purposes of this problem, let’s have ★ and ☺ denote two arbitrary objects where ★ ≠ ☺. Over the course of this problem, we’re going to ask you to prove that |ℕ × {★, ☺}| = |ℕ|. i. Define a bijection f : ℕ × {★, ☺} → ℕ. The inputs to this function are elements of ℕ × {★, ☺}, so you can define your function by writing f(n, x) = ________________________ where n ∈ ℕ and x ∈ {★, ☺}.
