This is how we are conquering climate anxiety through our local food system...

At Boulder County Farmers Markets, we believe that local agriculture is a vehicle for effective change that can be leveraged to mitigate the impacts of climate change while creating positive effects for our communities. Here are just a few of the reasons local agriculture is giving us hope for a brighter future.

🌎 Farming fosters connection to the land: Farmers work in harmony with changing weather conditions, insects, and critters – making it hard not to feel connected to the earth we inhabit.

🐛 The regenerative movement is making waves: With more knowledge, funding, and consumer interest, an increasing number of farmers around the country are adopting regenerative practices to improve soil health, sequester carbon, improve biodiversity, and slow climate change.

💵 The power of the people (and your dollars): Whether that’s pushing grocery retailers to offer more organic and natural products – thereby increasing their production – or giving the regenerative movement legs, in a world motivated by money, your purchases matter.

Wednesday farmers markets may be over, but mid-wee

Wednesday farmers markets may be over, but mid-week produce pick ups don't need to be! 🌽

Our online market allows you to shop from many of your favorite market vendors from the comfort of your own home, and pick up your order in Boulder, Longmont, or Lafayette mid-week ALL YEAR LONG. 🛒 💻

Browse from in-season produce, locally-raised meat and eggs, and Colorado made hummus, crackers, chocolate, coffee, and more at the link in our bio!

And just like that, it's the LAST Wednesday market

And just like that, it's the LAST Wednesday market of the season! 🥹

To know the Wednesday market is to love the Wednesday market. From the smaller, tight-knit group of vendors, to the twinkling string lights and slower strolling pace, it feels different than the hustle and bustle of a weekend market.

There are SO many things that made Wednesdays special this season, including:

🤸 Our hardworking market staff, led by our incredible Wednesday Market Coordinator, Morning Glory!

🍺 Our beer garden vendors - including @sanitasbrewing, @thegravitybrewing, and @wildprovisionsbeer - who served up cold brews all summer long.

🕺 Our friends at @rockymountaintaichi, who held donation-based tai chi classes in the park.

🚙 The City of Boulder employees who helped ensure our vendors had space to set up on 13th Street each week.

♻️ @rworldreuse for decreasing the waste produced by market.

🧡 You! Our community who showed up each week, shopped from our producers, and proved that supporting local matters.

Thank you for making Wednesdays in Boulder so special. Join us for a celebratory close to our favorite weeknight farmers market tonight, from 3:30-7:30pm!

You may have overheard terms like no-till farming,

You may have overheard terms like no-till farming, crop rotation, and companion planting thrown around at your local farmers market before. But what, exactly, do they mean? 🌱

All of these terms explain farming practices that have evolved to support soil health.

Healthy soil is full of essential vitamins and minerals that, when stewarded correctly, can pass those nutrients directly to your dinner plate. At the same time, conventional agricultural practices that degrade soil health produce less healthy food, resulting in a 50% decrease in the nutrient density in commercial produce over the last 50 to 70 years. 🚜 ➡️ 🍽️

Check out our blog at the link in our bio to learn about these practices and how they contribute to healthy soils, healthy people, and a healthy planet. ✍️

If you have purchase a bouquet from our online market in the past few months, it was from @aspenmoonfarm. 💐

Each week, we pick up unique, colorful combinations from Aspen Moon Farm that never cease to amaze. The farmers are skilled not just in growing, but in bringing natural beauty into our homes and every day lives.

As the weather cools down, our weeks of these beautiful blooms are numbered. Bring some dahlias, sunflowers, or cosmos into your space this week by ordering a bouquet through our online market. Orders are open NOW until Monday at 1 PM at the link in our bio or at shop.bcfm.org/products. 🧡
