It's that time of year... Hooray! Local farmers from Denver and surrounding areas get together to sell their produce and share the delicious goodness with veggie and fruit lovin' folks like me. This is your guide to this year's markets.
Check times and dates for the following 3 markets.
City Park Esplanade Fresh Market
Located at the Sullivan Fountain at E. Colfax and Columbine St., this is one of my favorite markets in town. It is smaller, more intimate, and a perfect way to spend your Sunday Morning. Sundays 9-1.

Tamarac Square Farmers' Market
This market can be found in Tamarac Square of course, at Tamarac and Hampden. This is a Monday market, so it’s naturally smaller and a nice market to get to know the vendors and even meet other shoppers. 11-3.

This market is open Tuesdays from 11-3 and found in the Maya Sports Bar and Grill parking lot. How about a burger and beer after your shopping?
Littleton Farmers' Market
7301 S. Santa Fe. Dr Littleton, CO 80120
The Littleton crowd is lucky to have 2 nearby markets! This one is located in the Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center and open Wednesdays 11-3. Perfect for home makers who want to support local farmers, but are busy with family on the weekends.
WheatRidge Farmers' Market
4260 Wadsworth Blvd. Wheatridge, CO 80033
Open Thursdays 11-3 is the WheatRidge Market. This is a great way to get a head start on your weekend. Grab all your goodies from fresh fruit and veggies to natural bath and body products and by Saturday morning you’re ready to make a veggie omelette followed by a soak in the tub. Then off to one of the weekend markets for fresh flowers on your bike.
