For many residents of Evergreen Colorado, summers are largely defined by an overwhelming sense of connection. Community members participate in weekly outdoor activities and events, frequent the bustling downtown area or Evergreen Lake, and visit the original Evergreen Farmers’ Market. For twenty years, these farmers’ markets have been a popular attraction, allowing families, community groups, and vendors alike to come together and share their passions and, of course, their unbelievably delicious products.
When it comes to organic, fresh, and colorful produce sourced directly from local farms, few states can compete with Colorado. The state’s defined seasons create the perfect climate to grow a wide variety of crops and neighborhood farmers constantly seek to provide quality foods to their communities, free of pesticides or harmful chemicals.
Supporting small, sustainable farms like those in Evergreen not only ensures the availability of high-quality, locally-grown products in the market but also helps preserve the breathtaking natural landscapes of Colorado. Feel good about supporting your local farms – their growing methods mean your produce is not only delicious but also eco-friendly!
The Farmers Market goes from June 4, 2024 – September 24, 2024, running from 10 AM – 2 PM every Tuesday. Located at The Original Farmers Market, 28253 Meadow Drive Evergreen, CO 80439.
The History of Evergreen Farmers' Market
Loredana and Jay are two Colorado natives with a passion for celebrating local businesses and a well-connected community. On the About Us section on the Colorado Outdoor Markets website, the two were quoted saying, “By helping the people and the farmers join hands, again, at farmers’ markets, they have given a place where the local community can reconnect with their roots and get back in touch with the farmers which grow their food”. The organizers even go as far as to ensure that there are always additional activities and games (like a community ping pong table!) for all Evergreen residents to enjoy together.
By preserving and developing the infamous Evergreen farmers’ markets for nearly twenty years, all events run smoothly and all community members and vendors feel welcome and supported. If anyone is a farmers’ market expert… it’s those who are behind the familiar and upbeat Tuesdays here in Evergreen.
