What's in season: November 🧅

We are in the final month of farmers markets, and there is still so much fresh food to enjoy! The highlight is the rainbow of winter squash, perfect for all of your baking, roasting, and soup-making needs. Plus, stock up on storage crops like potatoes and onions so that you can enjoy local ingredients year-round!

You've got three more weeks to shop at our weekly Saturday farmers markets, plus a full weekend of local food festivities at our Winter Market on December 5 & 6 at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. We can't wait to soak up the last of the season with you all!

Meet Kyle! 👋

Kyle is our Director of Operations here at Boulder County Farmers Markets, a new role that will allow us to continue expanding our programs to make local food accessible to our community for generations to come. He joins us with a wealth of experience in event management, food systems work, and community engagement.

Kyle spent most of his career in the music industry managing bands like Colorado favorites Elephant Revival, which he helped grow from the Fox Theater to Red Rocks. Along the way, he built several businesses before turning his lifelong passion for food into a career. In addition to launching his own cooking business, Hey Food, Kyle also volunteered for the last two years with Slow Food Boulder County, where he worked on operations and events like the CSA fair.

Born and raised in the borderlands of El Paso, TX, Kyle moved to Boulder in 1997. Being introduced to the Boulder Farmers Market and getting to know local farmers played a pivotal role in transforming his relationship with food and learning how to create a healthy life. Now he's excited to join the team to continue deepening the connection between local farmers and eaters while supporting the organization's next chapter of growth.

Kyle is endlessly curious and proud to have visited all 50 states with his 10-year-old son. You'll usually find him in the kitchen, on the soccer field, visiting local farms, or reading in a hammock in the mountains.

Happy National Farmer's Day!

We are so grateful for all of the incredible, hard-working farmers who make our local food system possible. This season has been particularly challenging: drought, wildfires, loss of revenue, and more. Farmers don't get to take vacations during the season or stay inside on hot, smoky days. They continue farming because the plants need care, and people are depending on the food that they are growing.

This National Farmer's Day also falls on Indigenous People's Day. Indigenous practices guide the way farmers work with the land in countless ways. We see indigenous influences in seed-keeping, water conservation, biodiversity on farmland, interplanting crops, and more.

While conventional farming has disrupted sustainable land management by indigenous peoples throughout history, many of our farmers are working to rebuild ecosystems and food sovereignty that were lost. These farmers are doing the hard, essential work that is necessary to build a more resilient food system.

National Farmer's Day is a great opportunity to thank the people who make sure food gets to your plate. Through our markets, we hope to give our community a space where they can directly know their farmers and continue building a stronger connection to the food system that feeds us.

Thank you, farmers, for all that you do! 💚

What's in season: October 🎃

It's fall, and we are welcoming some of our cold-loving veggies back to the farmers market! Perfect for warming soups and stews, there will be winter squash, potatoes, onions, carrots, and more available.

Meet Jess! 👋

Jess is the brains and heart behind the Longmont Farmers Market.

Her commitment to farming starts way before she joined us here at Boulder County Farmers Markets. Through her master's degree in Plant Health Management, her work at Mid-Ohio Food Collective, and lots of on-the-farm experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective that has allowed us to continue increasing our impact.

She uses that food systems knowledge to constantly ensure our vendors are supported and that our community knows how important fresh, local food is.

Through her time as Longmont Market Manager, she has transformed the market layout to support more vendors, managed special programs like farm field trips, and continued strengthening our community's commitment to local.

When she is not at the market, you can find Jess trail running, eating honey straight from the jar, and playing with her pup. Stop by the Longmont Farmers Market any Saturday through Nov. 21 and thank Jess for all she does to make the Longmont Farmers Market rock!

Last week, Marian — our food access specialist and Wednesday market manager — traveled to DC with Nourish Colorado to advocate for expanded support for the SNAP Produce Bonus program!

The Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus program provides SNAP benefit recipients with fresh food for free! These shoppers can purchase an additional $60 of fruits and vegetables each month using their EBT cards directly with vendors. Not only has the SNAP Produce Bonus program benefited particpants with delicious, nutrient-dense food, but it also supports growers with increased local food purchasing.

In 2025, we piloted the program at one of our markets. We saw the impact in the numbers: our SNAP incentive dollars at that one market grew from about $32,000 in 2024 to over $80,000 in 2025. This year, we’ve expanded the program to all three of our markets!

We hope the clear success of this program encourages lawmakers to give it a permanent home, allowing it to continue increasing local food access in our community. Learn more about the impact of nutrition incentive programs like this one at nourishcolorado.org!

By eating local, you are building a more resilient food system — whether you know it or not.

There are so many reasons to shop at the farmers market: the taste of fresh food, the relationships with your community, the nutrient density of produce, and more. But bigger than all of those individual impacts is the way that we are building a system prepared for uncertainty.

The connections that are formed between farmers, chefs, and customers make complex food systems simple. They show us exactly where our food is coming from. And when there are supply chain issues or disease outbreaks, we already have relationships with the people who produce our food. We can get information more quickly and solve problems before they work their way through the rest of the food system.

For individual shoppers, going to the farmers market is straightforward. But for larger institutions, it can be challenging to manage the flexibility and agility required when working with individual farmers.

That is why our Food Hub works to aggregate produce from local farms and deliver it to large institutions like CU Boulder. This allows them to source locally and get delicious fresh ingredients at scale.

We won't change our food system overnight. But by building systems that allow for continued support of a localized food system, we are building resilience. Read more on our blog at https://bcfm.org/where-your-food-comes-from-matters/.

It feels like apple season, so where are all the apples?

Late summer into fall at the farmers market is typically characterized by roasting peppers, a rainbow of winter squash, and more varieties of apples than we can count. And while we have already mourned a smaller volume of peaches this year, we are being reminded of the Western Slope fruit farmers' losses once again.

This year, there will not be any apples at our farmers markets in Boulder and Longmont. 🍎

Ela Family Farms, First Fruits Organic Farms, and Topp Fruits are the folks who usually bring their delicious Honeycrisps, Fujis, and more to the market. Each of these farms was a victim of the frost this year. All located in Delta County, they were impacted by a springtime freeze that decimated their crop. The same unique microclimate that supports apple production is also exactly what made them susceptible to crop loss.

Just like coming to terms with the loss of peaches, apricots, and cherries from these farms, all we can do is be grateful for the fruit we get to enjoy every other year. We can think of these farmers who are having a challenging season and look forward to when we will see them next. And we can enjoy pears from , pick apples from our neighborhood trees, and purchase apple sauces and dried apples from Ela Family Farms when they come to the market once a month.

While we may not have apples, there are still many delicious fall flavors to enjoy this year, so keep coming out and showing love to your local farmers! Our markets continue each Wednesday in Boulder through October 7 and each Saturday in Boulder and Longmont through November 21. 💚
