Nuclear Nexus & Nuclear Guardianship Collective
Nuclear Nexus & Nuclear Guardianship Collective
RMPJC was founded with a main focus of closing down the Rocky Flats nuclear plant. In coordination with AFSC Denver, Greenpeace, and numerous other organizations, RMPJC worked to end the production of potentially harmful nuclear waste. Over time, RMPJC became the foremost peace and environmental group working steadily for the best possible procedures to properly clean up the already thoroughly contaminated site. However, due to an improper “clean up” by government agencies, the efforts to clean up Rocky flats and make it habitable once again is still underway.

Boulder Farmers Market

Join Boulder County Farmers Market in the heart of downtown Boulder on 13th Street (between Canyon and Arapahoe) for the longest market season in the state of Colorado. 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.
