Still looking for signs of spring? You can find them in abundance in the form of more than 300 newborn goats that have just arrived at Destiny Dairy, in Eaton.

Adorable as they are, however, they aren't the new products that make dairy owners Scott Miller and Jennifer Zindel proudest.

That honor is reserved for the products they're introducing under Destiny's new organic certification: organic whole goat milk, organic 2 percent goat milk, organic chocolate goat milk and organic plain goat-milk yogurt.

Miller and Zindel stopped restocking fresh products in November as part of the two-year transition from conventional to organic status. They're in the process of restocking with products bearing the company's new Destiny Organics label.

Zindel says going organic is opening new worlds in distribution, marketing and customer loyalty.

"A lot of people have been waiting for this," Zindel said. "Our customers basically are looking for pure, minimally processed products, and they tend to believe that organic production is better for them and for the environment."

As a bonus, neither of them has to climb into a truck and personally deliver their goods to the stores anymore.

Zindel said she's looking forward to dedicating a portion of her newfound leisure to a cause: creating working goat dairies to benefit children with AIDS in Kenya and Cambodia.

"It's a project that's close to our hearts," she said. "We're working with some other groups that have purchased the land, and we've donated the animals."

Products from Destiny Organics are available at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Vitamin Cottage and Sunflower stores as well as a variety of small independent shops.

Miller and Zindel offer free public tours of the goat dairy from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays.

"It's a chance to see the girls and their babies and buy some cheese," she said. "We also have a dozen rams who are living large, but they're not usually on the tour."

• If late summer is the season you've been hankering for, you can get a taste of it at Pete's Fruits and Vegetables, 5606 E. Cedar Ave., 303-393-6247. Owner Pete Moutzouris roasts peppers year- round, pushing his roaster out to the parking lot whenever Denver temperatures nudge past freezing.

When the weather's good and the pepper supply is ample - which it was for a few days last week - he sells fresh-roasted Anaheim chiles and red and yellow bell peppers for $2.99 a pound.
