As the growing season comes to a close, the Longmont Farmers Market is winding up another year, bidding goodbye to garlic and parting with peaches. But if you’re looking for a few more productive Saturdays, you’re in luck: The market continues through November 4th.
Located at the Boulder County Fairgrounds on Nelson Road and opening each April, this market is a staple of warm weekend days; it serves over 60,000 visitors each season and offers selections from more than 120 local producers.
In addition to grocery shopping, the Longmont Farmers Market also gives visitors a chance to enjoy live music, a wide range of activities, and monthly artisanal markets (which take place on the fourth Saturday of each month).
While the Longmont Farmers Market offers a wide selection of goods and produce, some foods shine brighter in the fall than others. In Colorado, some of the best produce to buy includes apples, apricots, pumpkins, collard greens, corn, fennel, eggplant, kale, squash, and watermelon. Autumn is also a prime time for peaches to shine, particularly before early October. Of course, the market offers items outside of produce, as well, allowing you to stock up on both the perishable and non-perishable.
Whether you’re looking for a perfect Halloween pumpkin or hoping to freeze some corn, onions, or tomatoes over the winter months, stop by the Longmont Farmers Market before November 4th, and get your goods while they’re great.
