I had heard so much about the Boulder County Farmer's Market (in front of the Teahouse on 13th) that I finally went down on Saturday morning. I must say, I was slightly disappointed. I grew up going to a farmer's market every weekend with my grandparents (who were vendors there). I love the smell of the fresh vegetables, and the ambiance of the market as the community comes out. In my hometown the farmers market is an event. Although there were some great things at the Boulder farmer's market (organic applesauce for one), I was expecting more out of it. To it's credit, I did go fairly late, so lots of vendors were closing down, but I was looking for fresh fruit, and was disappointed in the selection. They do have great flowers though! It's worth going to see what it's all about, but it doesn't quite measure up.
