Farmer's Markets offer the opportunity to not only meet your local farmer and find amazing farm fresh produce, but to make a conscious consumer decision to support local agriculture. Purchasing directly from the producer whether farmer, butcher or cheese maker is a return to the original way food was obtained. It was only 100 years ago that the first self service grocery store opened its doors in the streets of New York. Whether young or old, an open air market awakens the senses and encourages exploration. The bright colors, and playful large piles of vegetables make it a great setting for a field trip or family outing. Children are curious by nature and when put in new situations will ask all kinds of wonderful questions about what they see.
In almost every community in Colorado there is a local farmer's market.
