History from a “Birds Eye View” – Changes in feathered fauna in an evolving landscape
History from a “Birds Eye View” – Changes in feathered fauna in an evolving landscape
In addition to its own song, that Blue Jay calling out in your backyard sings its part in the chorus of Boulder County's story. This fascinating program, co-sponsored by the Boulder County Nature Association, tracks the changes in the nature of our land – how changes in human land use have transformed the avian fauna of our region. Join Naturalist, Martin Ogle, and Lafayette Historical Society's Gerry Morrell to find out!

Our Boulder markets on Wednesday and Saturday offer the very best of the season—from farm fresh produce to locally raised meat, poultry, and eggs. You can also load up on bread and baked goods, plants and flowers, and Colorado-crafted specialty and ready-to-eat foods from our great vendors.
Longmont Farmers Market
Longmont Farmers Market
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.
