Two new gun laws that are set to go into effect in Colorado on Sunday will institute a three-day waiting period for purchases and make it easier for victims and their families to sue gun manufacturers and dealers.The laws, passed by the legislature in April, were among several gun-violence prevention measures signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis this year. Lawmakers also passed a bill expanding the state’s red-flag law, which has already taken effect, plus a fourth measure that generally will require a person to be 21 or older to buy a gun. A federal judge has temporarily blocked that minimum age law amid an ongoing legal challenge.A fifth bill that regulates so-called “ghost guns” also was passed and signed into law this spring, though some provisions won’t take effect until Jan. 1.Like the minimum age measure, the waiting period law — which requires that at least three days pass between when someone purchases a firearm and when they take possession ...

Hydroponic retail farm, restaurant opens at edge of RiNo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:20:08 GMT

At the edge of Ballpark and RiNo, two brothers have debuted a twist on the classic hydroponic farm.Farm & Market, which Davis and Austin Breedlove opened Sept. 16, has the typical vertical “towers” — 1,080 of them, specifically — with lettuce and other greens sprouting from them through a soil-less system.But unlike most similar operations, which sell to restaurants or grocery stores, the Breedloves are selling their produce onsite, in resealable plastic bags. They pick a small amount of most varieties each day, as opposed to harvesting the entire crop of a particular green and then waiting weeks for the next one. The only restaurant they supply is the one they run at the rear of the building, which serves vegetable-heavy soups, salads and bowls.Davis, 32, is the CEO. The University of Southern California graduate worked in tech but was always a “backyard farmer.” Now he’s gone pro and runs the farm, which takes up about half the building at 2401 Larimer St.“I’ve alw...
