Interested in improving your diet and/or saving some money on fresh produce? The Saturday Longmont Farmers’ Market has you covered. This branch of the Boulder County Farmers’ Market is back until late November. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful weather this summer as you shop for locally grown fruits, veggies, grass-fed meat, and eggs. Here’s what you need to know about this awesome weekly event that’s just a few miles from Habitat Apartments:

When and Where

The Longmont Farmers’ Market runs every Saturday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm through November 17, and is conveniently located at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. This beautiful open space is the perfect setting for the market. If you’re traveling by bike, Bicycle Longmont provides free bike valet parking. Otherwise, parking shouldn’t be an issue at this venue.

What to Expect

The market is great for finding fresh food at a fair price, but it’s also an opportunity to mix up your weekend routine. Live music sets the tone for a fun gathering, and artisan shows are available on the fourth Saturday of each month. The next artisan show will be held on August 25, so be sure to bring extra bags if you’re looking forward to finding locally-made crafts.

What’s In Season?

Curious about what’s in season this summer? Everything you need for delicious summer salads will be available at the market, including arugula, beets, carrots, greenhouse tomatoes, and garlic. There’s much more than just veggies, however — you’ll also have the chance to pick up locally produced beef, pork, eggs, and cheese. If your goal is to create a wide variety of recipes from simple ingredients, the farmers’ market offers a great opportunity to stock up on the essentials. Keep in mind that the most popular items tend to sell out quickly, so arrive early if you’re hoping to grab a specific ingredient. The offerings will change as we exit summer and head into fall, so keep an eye on the Boulder County Farmers’ Market website to stay up to date on the latest seasonal fare.
