Dear Just Be: My roommate and I want to eat fresh, local produce this summer. Can you tell me where we can find a farmer’s market in Denver metro?

Farmer’s markets are abound in the Denver metro area; you can practically find one every day of the week. They are a great way to support the local economy as well as farmers. Farmer’s markets are also a fun activity to do and a great way to get outside and enjoy the weather.

Do be aware that you may experience some sticker shock when shopping at farmer’s markets. Farmer’s markets can be a bit pricey because of the fact that they aren’t producing large quantities like the producers or manufactures that you will find in your metro Denver grocery store. Below is a list of the farmer’s markets I am aware of. There are probably more and if you find one, please share!
