Description
The Boulder County Farmers' Market is owned by the Farmers. The market is a producer only market and no member is allowed to sell what they did not produce. The Market has over 70 farming members and 45 specialty food vendors providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare for shoppers. After exploring the wide variety of fruits, vegetables, jams, juices, salsas, artisan cheeses, eggs, natural meats, and wines, you can relax and enjoy musicians, chef demonstrations, and other organized events for children and adults. The ambiance created at 13th Street next to Central Park is unmatchable: Boulder Creek, cool grass, tall trees, stunning rose and herb gardens at the neighboring Dushanbe Teahouse, brightly colored fresh cut flowers and piles of super fresh, locally grown produce. You can often see children coloring on the steps of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. The Boulder Farmers' Market is the perfect setting for browsing, shopping, gathering, eating and catching up on the news. There are always local musicians to make the market lively. The Culinary School of the Rockies always has a Chef on hand to share recipe ideas and samples of the latest vegetables to come into season.
