“We have four raised garden beds and three Earth Boxes in which we grow all sorts of things. I have two boys and each one is in charge of a box. We grow kale, chard, garlic, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, lots of herbs, tomatoes and summer squash.” Watching the trend of long ingredient lists and the addition of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and genetic engineering set Marcy Miller on a mission to make healthier options for her young children. Today, she lives that mission through her locally owned Boulder and Louisville Organic Sandwich Company restaurants. Organic Sandwich Company 1500 Pearl St., Boulder | 459 S.
