Boulder Farmer’s Market Reflections 2013

33 of the 34 Saturday markets were actually quite decent weather-wise–not too windy, usually a bit chilly in the early part of the day and warming by noon; not a lot of rain or snow. Way better than last year with six rainy Saturdays in a row. This year the epic Front Range flooding affected the latter part of the season for many of the vendors and farmers who had significant losses and damage to their farms. We all felt the impact at the market, yet we did our best to support each other. Interesting to me to feel how we operate independently, but our success depends on helping others to be successful.
