Boulder Farmers' Market Today

As we emerge from our brief brush with winter, it's time for the Boulder Farmers' Market again today, both in downtown Boulder and at the fairgrounds in Longmont. Just hope none of the farmers were hit by frost last night. (My herb plants get to journey back outside today after sheltering indoors for the past two nights.) Here's the news for the week from the Farmers' Market:

We got a preview of winter last night, and some of us are wondering, "What does this mean for our farmers?" We talked to Mark with Ollin Farms this morning, who said the snow didn't hit Longmont and that all of his summer crops are still safe. We're hoping that runs true with everyone and are sending warm wishes to all of our farmers tonight. We hope to avoid a frost tomorrow morning, which would mean saying goodbye to tomatoes and a few other crops. 

This week at the markets: tomatoes, sweet and spicy peppers, arugula, garlic, onion, sweet corn, winter squash, eggplant, mushrooms, carrots, apples, peaches, plums and kale.
