Nothing gets me twitterpated quite like a farmers market!

If you’re anything like me, nice spring days not only get you dreaming of long lazy days in the sun, but your heart starts to twitter at the thought of the delicious produce that summer brings. For me, it all starts with spring rhubarb. Then stretches into the fall with acorn squash and hatch green chiles. And where do I find the best gems the Colorado earth has to offer? Local farmers markets, of course.

My romance generally begins with the anticipation of counting down the days until May, when the market just down the way from my home opens. Which is disheartening considering I’m in the throes of desire once March hits. This year, in my anticipation, I’ve become more clever and done a bit of research. And it was worth it: I’ve found that the Boulder Farmers’ Market opens in just over a week–the joy!

Come rejoice in the produce season with me at your local farmers’ market:

Boulder Farmers’ Market: Opens April 4

Crested Butte Farmers Market: Opens June 21
