Boulder Farmers' Market Today

It's another stunning fall day in Boulder for today's Boulder Farmers' Market, starting at eight this morning. If you like to plan ahead, here's what you can expect to see today, from the Market's weekly newsletter. I focus on the one in downtown Boulder, but they even have a note about some additional produce you'll find if you're out at the one in Longmont. My, how the list is growing shorter. But on a brighter note, you can now pick up a 2012 calendar featuring our favorite local farmers, presented by "Pitchfork Pinups." I love it! (Although it looks like the farmers get to keep their clothes on.)
