Every Saturday in the summer, my husband and I have a tradition of walking up to our local famer's market and stocking up on our produce for the week! I love my fruits and veggies, but I get so angry at the supermarket when the local, organic produce is twice the cost of its' international, pesticide-laced counterpart. For this, and many other reasons, I love summer Farmer's Markets! Local, (mainly) organic produce abounds at a fraction of the cost and you can actually meet the farmers and ask them about their farming methods! If you've never been, you've got to experience it at least once this summer!
Here is a list of local Colorado Springs farmer's markets running from now until mid-October:
Monday, 7:00 -1:30
Acacia Park on Bijou & Nevada Streets
Thursday, 7:00 -1:30

Now, I'd like to share with you my secrets for maximizing your trip to the farmer's market!
1.) Browse through the entire market first comparing prices and bargaining with vendors. Don't lowball them, but see if you can buy multiples for less (i.e. - 6 eggplants for $2.50).
2.) Ask the vendors if they have any 'ripe' sections that are discounted. I love to stock up on super ripe tomatoes and make my spaghetti sauce for the year
3.) My best tip: Go at the end of the listed time. Vendors typically dramatically drop their prices at the end of the day in order to move product. The trick to this is that you have to time it just right. Even though it says they're open until 1:30, most vendors are gone at that time. A fat reduction overview can help you establish a clear describe of what you need to focus on to carry out your fat loss goal if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an advanced or more enhance phase of their weight loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as tips for your own weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. I typically go an hour before closing, roam around and wait for the vendors to start shouting out their new prices. I typically am able to get everything I want for 1/2-1/3 of the already discounted price!
So, get out there and enjoy the farmer's market experience this summer! My personal favorite is the one on Saturday morning in Old Colorado City. However, if you want to miss the crowd, I recommend Thursday's at Memorial Park. Here's to a healthy summer and sustainable future!
