Eat Fresh This Summer with Macaroni Kid Lakewood/Littleton

Your Lakewood & Littleton CO Guide to Local Farmers' Markets!

By Jamie Twarogowski, Macaroni Kid Lakewood/Littleton Publisher June 25, 2015
We love Farmers' Markets!  There is just something so special about browsing the fruit and vegetable stands, the freshly cut flowers, fresh baked breads and all the other fun stuff you find at the markets.  Everything seems to taste so vibrant and fresh!  Well, why wouldn't they?  With your fruit and vegetables just picked days before it hits the stands, bread freshly baked, flowers so fresh they seem to last for weeks!

If you haven't checked out our local Farmers' Markets, this should be the year you do.  Our communities of Lakewood and Littleton have four wonderful markets to choose from, check one out near you!
