The crisp air, the golden leaves, and the smell of something delicious roasting in the oven — fall in Colorado is pure magic. October is a month full of color, celebration, and comfort food, and Edwards Meats is here to help you make the most of every bit of it.
We’re excited to offer new online ordering for our meat packages — a convenient way to stock up on all your favorite cuts, save time, and ensure you have everything you need for the season’s meals. We’ve got options for every household and appetite!
All across the Front Range, harvest season is in full swing. Cider Days in Lakewood is the perfect way to kick off October — a weekend full of family fun, live music, and plenty of apple-inspired treats. Denver’s Great American Beer Festival draws beer lovers from across the country to sample some of the nation’s best brews (and if you ask us, there’s no better pairing for a cold craft beer than a perfectly grilled bratwurst from Edwards Meats). You’ll also find Oktoberfest celebrations popping up in towns all over Colorado — the perfect excuse to fill your plate with hearty sausages, tangy kraut, and warm pretzels.
And of course, no Colorado fall is complete without a pumpkin festival. While you’re here at Edwards Meats to grab one of our fresh pumpkins, it’s the perfect time to embrace the season in all its autumn glory.
When it comes to food, fall is all about warmth, comfort, and slowing down. This is the time to fill your kitchen with the smells of roasting, baking, and simmering — and we’ve got all the ingredients to make that happen.
Here are a few of our favorite fall recipe ideas to inspire you this month:
Apple Cider Pork Chops
Marinate our thick-cut pork chops in apple cider, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard, then sear and bake until tender. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes or our homemade mashed potatoes for a cozy, seasonal dinner.
Classic Pot Roast
Choose one of our hand-cut chuck roasts or arm roasts and slow cook it with carrots, onions, potatoes, and a touch of red wine. It’s a one-pot meal that tastes like fall itself — and makes the whole house smell amazing.
Brats & Beer Cheese Dip
Hosting your own Oktoberfest party? Grill up our handcrafted brats, slice them into bite-size pieces, and serve with a warm beer cheese dip. Add some pretzels and sauerkraut on the side and you’ve got an instant crowd-pleaser.
Harvest Chili
Use our premium ground beef, pork, or bison for a rich and hearty chili. Mix in roasted corn, black beans, and a dash of smoked paprika for a deep fall flavor. Serve it in a bread bowl for extra comfort.
Pumpkin Pie (Village Pie Maker Style!)
After a day of festivals or football, nothing beats a slice of pie. Pick up a Village Pie Maker pumpkin or apple pie from our freezer section — just bake and enjoy. It’s the perfect ending to any fall meal.
Don’t forget — while you’re shopping for your fall favorites, grab a pumpkin from our display out front! Whether you’re carving, decorating, or baking, they’re a must-have this time of year.
October is one of our favorite months at Edwards Meats because it brings together everything we love most — family gatherings, community celebrations, and, of course, delicious food. Our team takes pride in helping you find the perfect cuts, sides, and specialties for your fall meals. From house-smoked bacon and sausages to custom-cut roasts and tenderloins, every product is made or selected with care so you can enjoy the best of Colorado’s harvest season.
