Today's Boulder Farmer's Market Report

It's a lovely day for the Boulder Farmer's Market Today, even with sunshine after our streak of Seattle-esque weather. The spring veggie offerings just keep increasing, to the point where I can't try to keep track of them all. In addition to lots of baby lettuce, spinach, arugula, baby chard, radishes, and the like, this week I also saw bok choy, red Russian kale, mustard greens, mizuna, and head lettuce (big enough to sell as one head instead of part of a mix). Cure Organic Farm has tons of beautiful organic veggie starter plants for your garden, and Red Wagon Organic Farm has their signature Egyptian walking onions again (and pea shoots!). This will probably be my last regular report for the Farmer's Market however. Lovely as the vendor stalls are, the crowds and the parking situation are too much to bear, especially now that my favorite Cure Organic Farm has opened their farm store for the season at 75th and Valmont. Why fight the crowds, dogs, and strollers, when you can get the freshest organic produce in a leisurely fashion straight from the farm?
