Best farmers markets in Colorado Springs

Shopping at a farmer's market in Colorado Springs is an experience that every homeowner should try at least once. As soon as you step into the market, your senses will be overloaded with bright colors, amazing smells, and the sound of cheerful locals enjoying the day.

Farmer's markets are a great way to support local farmers and artisans by purchasing goods right from the source. Many Colorado Springs residents take some time on the weekend to head to the farmer's market to stock up on fresh produce and homemade goods. Shopping at a market is also beneficial for the buyer. Since you are not purchasing produce from a store, where markups are inevitable, you are able to get a better price for most things.
