The Longmont Farmers Market is a very productive way to spend a morning. The market takes place every Saturday through November 19 at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. It features a variety of vendors, activities, food (and non-food items), and artisan shows.
There are several reasons to turn up for turnips and get your garlic on, including the following:
You can’t bring your pets to the farmers market, but you can bring your human children! The market features a variety of kid-specific activities put on by the Firehouse Art Center, a non-profit dedicated to thought-provoking art by local artists, as well as those across the globe.
The Options
One of the biggest draws of the Longmont Farmers Market is the number of options offered. Among the vendors featured you’ll discover Bolder Chips, Izzio Artisan Bakery, Aspen Moon Farm, Bjorn's Colorado Honey, Bookcliff Vineyards, First Fruits Organic Farm, and Idlewild Flower Farm. It’s a great place to think outside the broccoli. You can purchase plants, wine, beef, baked goods, pickles, and bread in addition to a plethora of fruits and veggies.
Farmers markets are often more affordable than supermarkets, something that’s become increasingly more important as inflation has soared. Certain items, such as organic produce, may be dramatically cheaper when purchased directly from the source.
Shopping at a farmers market is a great way to gather with others in your community and support nearby farmers while filling your refrigerator. This contributes to the local economy, gives you access to higher quality and healthier products, and embraces sustainability.
Whether you’re buying in bulk or looking for some fresh ingredients for a stellar spaghetti dinner, the Longmont Farmers Market is the ideal place to get the goods. Stop by before November 19th to stock up for winter.
