The number of farmers' markets is growing across America as more consumers become interested in buying fresher produce and supporting local farmers. An added benefit is that well-run farmers' markets can be educational, and are always fun! Along the Front Range of Colorado, agricultural land is being turned into housing and shopping at an alarming rate. Concerned citizens might support agriculture in general, but don't understand how they can help their local farmers or ranchers. After all, health laws prevent people from buying raw milk from dairies or individual steaks from ranches. And time and distance make it impractical to drive 30 miles even for the freshest carrots and tomatoes. Most farmers' markets seem to be either organized as a cooperative, with each member contributing what skills they have, or as a for-profit-venue by enterprising individuals. Sometimes, cities and counties become involved in farmers' markets by offering sites or organizational support. We are proud members of the Colorado Farmers Market Association In Larimer County there are at least five separate Farmers' Markets. The Colorado Agricultural Marketing Cooperative ( who sponsors this web page ) offers three markets to local growers and consumers. (Emphasis on local here, as produce is restricted to Larimer, Morgan, Boulder or Weld Counties, with the exception of Western Slope fruit). The County of Larimer offers its own market which is run by its Master Gardener volunteers on Saturday mornings at the Larimer County Courthouse Parking Lot on the north side of Oak Street between Mason and Howes Streets. Also on Saturday mornings is the Drake Road Farmers' Market. There is also a market on Thursday mornings in Estes Park, and Thursday afternoons in Berthoud. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
