Customer Corner

Tom and Brenda Stiers moved to Boulder about a year ago. They will be planting their first garden in the area this season and have received expert advice from local growers at the market. Market Goodies: Tomato plants, lavender, veronica, gluten-free bread, iced coffee and lunch in the food court. Why shop at the market? It's the right thing to do!

We Grow What We Sell!

This weekend honors moms and grads. Celebrate with locally grown flowers from the Boulder County Farmers' Markets. We've got gorgeous hanging baskets, annuals, perennials, and fresh-cut bouquets. Another option is to take home fresh herbal starts and create a kitchen garden. And, be sure to visit the Fine Art & Fine Craft Fair at the Boulder Market where you'll find unique treasures. These make ideal gifts for anyone, including you. And don't forget the fresh spring veggies and all of our local products for your special meal... plus they make perfect healthy snacks and packed lunches.

Alex Watson is a potter and one of the many local artists featured at the Boulder art show this weekend. CLICK HERE to read about him.
