Terre Lidstone, Denver

For decades, Terre, a native of Denver, has watched Colorado family farmers and ranchers struggle. The growing disparity between prosperous Colorado counties and rural counties is a serious concern of hers. She would like to see urban and suburban communities embrace and promote community gardening / farming and thus, bringing that spirit back into our towns and cities.

Under our direction, she will be monitoring state legislation that affects our issues, will be available to testify when needed and will sit on committees when possible to ensure that our concerns are clearly understood by our legislators.

Her vision is to help financially strengthen family farmers and ranchers and farm/ranch communities in rural Colorado by
1) Promoting locally grown organic produce
2) Networking urban/suburban family gardeners & farmers with rural farmers
3) Creating and marketing a brand of products such as healthy dehydrated snack foods and eventually moving into health care products. (See www.yestocarrots.com, an Israeli company who sells a variety of health care products made with organic fruits and vegetables.)

Terre worked in real estate for more than ten years. Her husband has been in new home construction for many years.


Gerre Roble, Littleton

I love to garden and I love to teach as well, there’s something about sharing the joys of gardening. I studied under Curtis Swift, State Extension Office in Grand Junction, took the “Master Gardening Program” and went on and became volunteer answering seasonal gardening questions. The following year discovered I enjoyed food preservation and took their courses and volunteered in that dept. for another season. I moved to Wisconsin several years later and became involved with the Master Gardening program there. I volunteered and went further and organized”Master Gardening” club. We did many city wide outreaches, i.e., taught on pruning, mulching, seasonal plants and answered gardening questions. I was president of the club for several years. Left the program in Wisconsin as we moved back to our lovely state of Colorado.
