Hi Duane, what’s one piece of conventional advice that you disagree with?
Work smarter not harder
I believe you need both
Work Smarter and Harder
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Food with Integrity, from Soil to Plate
What We Do
• Local, Colorado Proud, family-owned and operated business.
• NON-GMO expeller pressed cooking and frying oils.
• Custom Blending for Customers: Providing custom blending services shows flexibility and a commitment to meeting specific customer needs, whether it’s for taste preferences or other requirements.
We work with customers who are:
• Worried about the safety of their food
• Upset, having so much trouble finding Non-GMO
• Concerned about having the best tasting foods
• Mad about all the plastic in their trash
• Unhappy with the longevity of their oil
At Healthy Harvest, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to problem-solving. Utilizing a unique brand of ingenuity often referred to as “redneck engineering,” we employ available resources and unconventional methods to craft practical solutions. Our mission is to help customers realize their vision for improving the way cooking oils are received and dispensed, combining innovation with practicality to deliver highly effective results.
Our journey spans many years and multiple industries, but this venture has proven to be our most challenging yet. We began with five partners, initially focusing on buying and selling non-GMO commodities. However, when the other partners failed to invest time or money, we found ourselves sole owners of a business we knew little about. Despite the challenges, the experience has been incredibly rewarding and filled with valuable lessons.
The path to success has been anything but easy. We’ve faced numerous obstacles and made plenty of mistakes, but our unwavering determination and refusal to quit have been key to overcoming these hurdles. Through persistence and learning from our missteps, we’ve discovered what works best for our business.
One of the most significant lessons we’ve learned is the importance of visibility. Even the greatest product in the world will struggle if no one knows about it. This insight has driven us to prioritize marketing and brand awareness to ensure our products reach those who need them.
At the heart of our success is our exceptional team, which we consider family. Sharing the same core values has allowed us to maintain our status as a family-owned and operated business with a clear vision and direction. Together, we continue to strive for excellence, driven by our commitment to innovation and practical solutions.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Colorado is such an amazing place! If I were to take visitors around, I’d definitely recommend visiting some of our great breweries and restaurants. And if they’re here in the summer, a drive along Trail Ridge Road would be a must—it offers some of the most stunning views of the Rockies.” As for being in nature, Gateway is an incredible place. Go west along the Dolores River and you’ll be in one of the most beautiful canyons you’ll ever see.
