Longmont Farmers Market

The Boulder County Fairgrounds (9595 Nelson Road, Longmont, CO 80501). 9595 Nelson Road, Longmont

Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.

CU Yard Sale

Resource Central: Materials Reuse 6400 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder, CO, United States

Resource Central and the Environmental Center at the University of Colorado Boulder are teaming up to divert thousands of pounds of material from landfills this year during the CU student move out. Since 2019, an estimated 65,000 lbs of dorm materials have been diverted from landfills through this program. This year, the range of accepted items has been broadened, which will likely result in an increase in the amount of pounds collected.  We will bring these items back to our Materials Reuse Facility, where they will be available for the public to shop at a sharply discounted rate.
