I even loved the color as red is my favorite color – it felt like fate.” I loved the name as I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and my brother still farms. I love stationery but having a full-time job I loved that it was a small and mobile business so I had flexibility to do it when I could. I saw that post and reached out and asked if she would consider selling it – the van, inventory, name, business and all – and she said yes! I just loved everything about it. “Then in 2020 Rachel posted that she was retiring the van. “Rachel Brandzel Weil started The Letter Farmer around six or seven years ago,” says Tracy. “She is in Seattle, Washington, and that is where she had the business and van. I found her and The Letter Farmer through an article posted about it and started following her Instagram and fell in love. I was pondering doing something similar in Denver but was busy with my career and family and just didn’t make it happen. We knew from the moment we heard about The Letter Farmer Co that it was an exciting story to share with you, but what we didn’t know – and probably love most – is the story behind how The Letter Farmer Co came to Colorado and the special connection that Tracy Alleman, its current owner, has to handwritten letters.

They even provide postage stamps so you don’t delay mailing that letter, as well as prompt cards to spark some inspiration and get the words flowing. At their Letter Farmer events, you can choose fine writing paper and a writing instrument and sit down with other letter writers. They not only carry a carefully curated selection of stationery goods but also offer a space to put pen to paper.

Based in Denver, Colorado, The Letter Farmer provides a convenient opportunity for people to enrich and deepen their connections through handwritten letters. For all the stationery lovers and handwriting enthusiasts out there, today we have a beautiful story to share: The Letter Farmer Co, a mobile boutique filled with stationery supplies and a mission to inspire people to write more letters.
