Froodles Fruit Snacks

Sweet and tart and made in Fort Collins, Froodles gives ordinary fruit-leather a serious run for its money. Made from a secret family recipe tested for 40 years by CSU biochemist Paul Azari and his daughter, Vicky Loran, family-owned Froodles (that’s fruit noodles) comes in 13 flavors, ranging from strawberry rhubarb and crabapple to kid-friendly Very Cherry and Peachy Keen. All made from Colorado apples and mostly local specialty fruits; all packaged in zippered pouches perfect for the backpack.

Poking through collectible contemporary toys at Plastic Chapel, 8 W. Ellsworth Ave. in Denver, you’re bound to encounter a Munny, a freaky little faceless vinyl creature designed to be, well, designed by you. Building on a bicoastal Munny craze, Plastic Chapel has partnered with Capsule Gallery for a show that anyone can enter. Buy a doll, tart it up, drop it off at the store or the gallery by May 31, and set aside June 9 for the opening. It’ll be fun; our money’s on it.

Frustrated gardeners with no backyard to take it out in can harvest more than enough produce this summer at Denver Urban Gardens’ three-acre Community Supported Agriculture farm. A full share of the garden costs $500 (plus four hours of work on the farm per month) and gets you enough veggies each week to feed three to five people. Half shares are available too. Call DUG to sign up. Full payment is due June 6, just in time for salad, scallion and spinach season.
