Shop Lucky's To Support Local Farmers Tomorrow

Some local farms were unfortunately devastated by last fall's floods and are still suffering. Tomorrow, Lucky's Markets in both Boulder and Longmont are donating a generous 5% of all purchases to farm relief. Here's what the Boulder Farmers' Market says about it:

Dear Eileen,

Shop at Lucky's Market this Thursday, February 13th, and help your local farmers recover from the flood!

As you may know, the September flooding last year devastated many of the area's farms. Millions of dollars worth of damage was sustained as topsoil was lost, holding ponds were filled with sand, and irrigation systems were washed away. Farmers are largely left out of federal and state relief, leaving private sources as the only hope for meaningful recovery. In response to this need, Local Food Shift, a Boulder based 501(c)(3), Community Foundation Boulder County, and Boulder County Farmers' Markets teamed up to form the Front Range Farm Relief Fund.

On February 13thLucky's Market is generously contributing 5% of all purchases, at both the Boulder and Longmont locations, all day, to the Front Range Farm Relief Fund. We are grateful for Lucky's support!

Thank you for shopping at Lucky's on Thursday and helping to keep your local farmers farming!
