Do you want to step up your sustainability and support local farmers and agriculture? Or maybe you’re just looking for a fun way to spend a weekend morning or weekday afternoon? Lettuce show you some Colorado Springs farmers markets. These markets offer a unique opportunity to connect with local farmers, growers, food producers and artisans while perusing fresh produce, locally raised meats, homemade clothing, unique art and crafts and much more.
Local food and produce are more accessible than ever for everyone since Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds can be used at farmers markets. And Colorado will match SNAP dollars with up to $20 of Double Up coupons per day to be used strictly on Colorado-grown produce.
Each farmers market is unique with vendors often rotating throughout the markets in the city, so each trip can be a chance to discover new treasures and new businesses. Plus, produce is seasonal, so you shop for the freshest fruits and vegetables in season. Grab your reusable bags and explore the best Colorado Springs farmers markets.
