Mother Nature’s tardiness is to the the benefit of locavores across Boulder this fall. While the Boulder County Farmers Market was originally scheduled to wrap up on Nov. 6, the Saturday morning fair will continue through Nov. 20.
This is the 24th year the market has been up and running at Boulder’s Central Park. As it has grown, the market has taken over 13th Street between Canyon Blvd. and Arapahoe Blvd. Originally the farmers and artisans gathered in front of the courthouse to exchange goods.
The Farmers Market provides a beautiful morning to slowly browse through a wide variety of crafts, baked goods, meats, cheeses and seasonal produce. For those trying to plan ahead, here is their guide for what is currently in season: Colorado Harvest Calendar
For the less prepared, more adventurous shoppers can peruse the samples of the day’s offerings and slowly decide what shall become that night’s dinner.
Enjoying the music, dancing, children’s games and good people is free of charge. Vendors are slightly negotiable with their prices, but taking home the best produce in town comes with a small fee.
