When you’re on the search for fresh and ethically produced fruits, veggies, meats, and eggs, your local Longmont farmers’ market is the way to go. This year, the Winter Market will offer a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to stock up on locally-grown food and one-of-a-kind handmade goods. If you’re interested in joining the fun, here’s what you need to know:
The Longmont Winter Market kicks off on Saturday, December 7 and runs through Sunday, December 8. The fairgrounds are open from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm both days, so there’s plenty of time to stop by and browse the plethora of booths. Boulder County Fairgrounds is conveniently located at 9595 Nelson Road in Longmont, and there’s plenty of parking available onsite.
The Winter Market will feature more than 100 local vendors and live music, so it’s the perfect opportunity for adding some excitement to your weekend while you shop for in-season produce. In addition to an excellent selection of fresh fruits and veggies, the market will offer farm fresh eggs, preserved goods, locally roasted coffee, specialty cuts of lamb, beef, and pork, and more! Bring your appetite, as plenty of samples and baked goods will be available for your enjoyment.
Colorado is famous for our art scene, and more than 60 artisans will set up shop at the fairgrounds. If you prefer to shop locally for holiday gifts, you’ll find an incredible variety of crafts and handmade gems here. Candles, jewelry, and knitwear are just a few of the custom items that will be available for purchase, so come ready to explore the shops!
While shopping is the market’s major draw, this community event provides an awesome atmosphere. Live bands are performing both days, and music will set the tone as you browse the hundreds of vendors. Feel free to bring the whole family, as kids’ activities are part of the fun. Although the market is an outdoor event, please leave your furry friends at home.
