Grab Your Totes! Farmers’ Market Season Has Arrived

With the warm weather here in earnest, farmers’ markets have sprouted all over. The first to sprint up every year is the Boulder Farmers Market, which opens in early April; most markets, including this year’s Best of Denver Readers’ Choice pick for Best Farmers’ Market, South Pearl, join the lineup in May.

Across the metro area, the farmers’ market scene will just keep growing through the summer, with a mix of larger markets and smaller community set-ups. Here’s a guide to all of them:
