Wow!
How is it that no one has reviewed this fun summer event yet?
In Durango, Colorado during the warmer days of the year in the parking lot of the First National Bank there is a fun event, the Durango Farmers Market! This event starts mid May on Saturdays from 8am till noon going on until the end of October.
There are so many fun and healthy minded folks that setup their booths and vending booths of so many types. The booths range from vegetable farmers, healthy cattle raisers, cheese makers, lemonade stands, bread makers, live music musicians, artists, massage booths, pottery makers, food truck/street food vendors, coffee/drink venders, local farms and rand ranches and so many more!
Suggestions:
~ Come visit with a large strong woven basket to gather so many fun vegetables! If you do not have a large caring basket, I believe they sell them there, it is nice to have a re-usable basket.
~ Bring lots of small bills, some folks there only deal with cash!
~ Bring your appetite, there are some very great cooks that show up there!
~ Try to visit all of the booths, there is so much great quality and knowledge there, it's a shame to waste!
~ Get there early! Some folks run out of the top selling items!
~ Were sun screen and a broad rim hat to block all of that sun.
~ Great place to meet and go through with friends and family!
~ This is a great place to find very healthy items!
~ Help support locals!
~ Bring an ice chest or some insulated bag to leave in your car auto to bring back your collection of great veggies for the travel back home.
~ If some booth offers you a sample, make sure you tip them at least! They are working the tail off to help you make a decision with out trying to rip you off!
~ Put change in the car ahead of time in case you have to park by a meter.
***Once again, try to get here early, they sell out at many booths early!
What a great place to have a little fun and gather some healthy items!
What a fun farmers market! I'm in, big time! Love this little farmers market! read more
