South Wedge Farmer's Market is a small weekly summer/fall farmers market behind Boulder Coffee Co. in the South Wedge, the South Wedge Farmers' Market embraces the grow local, eat local doctrine in sustainability, sourcing vendors and foods only from within 100 miles. Many vendors also sell organic produce, meats, and foods. It has space for just over two dozen vendors. Their website notes the varying list of vendors.

Founded by Chris and Vicki Hartman after a campaign to start a farmers market in the South Wedge, the Market kicked off shortly after Boulder Coffee Co. owner Lyjia Wilton won a variance in zoning to turn and pave the yards behind Boulder he owned. The site is that of Boulderfest too.

It's not the kind of place that you could buy all your produce at unless you have a pretty hefty budget. But please don't let that deter you from going; it's certainly worth going to and picking up an item or two just to hang out. —DaveMilitello
