Wednesday Boulder Farmers Market - What's Happening Today

The Wednesday Farmers Market, an afternoon mini version of the Saturday market, is hopping with prepared foods, veggies, starter plants, meats, breads, chocolate, and flowers galore. The big news is the opening of the beer and wine garden, today featuring Oskar Blues, so you can grab a brewski and listen to a great guitarist while taking a break from the market stalls. All my favorite organic farm vendors were there, and here's a quick lowdown on what I saw. Isabelle has good looking lacinato kale, in addition to the usual salad greens and radishes. At Pachamama, asparagus joins spinach, scallions, and salad mix. Red Wagon has a nice variety, with another week of pea shoots (yeah!), plus rhubarb, mizuna, Walla Walla onions, lettuce mix, and braising mix. Pea shoots are also on offer at Cure Organic Farm, in addition to salad greens, braising mix, spinach, and I was happy to see, turnips. Turnips are also making an appearance at Black Cat, where they also have radishes, spinach, and an unmarked interesting mix of greens with something yellow in it. Abbondanza has the hugest red radishes I've ever seen, plus spinach. Finally, Full Circle has rhubarb, radishes, parsley, cilantro, asparagus, spinach, and salad mix. The Wednesday market is open until 8, so there's still time to get on down, grab a brew, some veggies, and maybe even dinner from the food court.
