Longmont Farmers Market

Established in 1990, the Longmont Farmers' Market began as a small gathering of eight farmers and has grown over seventeen years into a well-organized family of approximately 60 participants, including professional farmers, weekend farmers, backyard gardeners, hobbyists, and teenagers working small plots.

The market features a variety of farming practices, including conventional methods and certified organic growing. All items marketed as 'organic' are grown on farms certified by the State of Colorado.

Visitors can find a wide variety of Colorado-grown produce, unique items like golden beets and purple beans, tree-ripe fruits from Western Slope orchards, fresh and dried flowers, bedding plants, homemade scented soaps, potpourri, wreaths, farm-fresh eggs, honey, roasted chilies, and prepared food and drinks. The market serves as a community hub, offering educational opportunities about growing practices, crop seasons, and cooking tips, and is held at the Boulder County Fairgrounds.
