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, wine and foods. It has space for just over two dozen vendors. Their website notes the varying list of vendors. EBT welcome.
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 Lyjha Wilton won a variance in zoning to turn and pave the yards behind Boulder he owned. The site is that of Boulderfest too.
The Farmers Market is now run by the South Wedge Planning Committee with manager Sue Gardner Smith and market coordinator Lee Bender.
The South Wedge Farmers Market continues into colder months in partnership with the Brighton Farmers Market. This Long Season Winter Farmers Market is held every Sunday 1 p.m. - 4 p.m., in November and December at Brookside Community Center, 220 Idlewood Road.

2007-08-18 11:13:37 I attended with my young daughter this week - it was our first time. We loved it - the great atmosphere, the wonderful and diverse produce (especially the heirloom tomatoes!), local ice cream, the music... it was just great! —JudyBolton

2009-07-24 19:37:00 The atmosphere is awesome and the food is absolutely top notch quality. However, be forewarned that you certainly pay for that quality. 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
