At TARRA, we are always looking at how we can support woman-owned in everything we do. From our coffee and tea vendors to the women behind the scenes—legal, accounting, marketing and design—our goal is to buy and hire woman-owned and when possible, shop local. 

This holiday season, we want to make conscious shopping easy with a list of the top women artisans and woman-owned shops in Colorado.

Dive in for your curated list of our favorites.
