“The support of the community has been fantastic, and we’d like to thank them,” said founding member ‘Farmer’ John Ellis. “Our customers have helped a lot of farmers continue farming in Boulder County and stay in business. It’s been a great experience giving people what they want and I’m pleased it’s worked out as well as it has,” he added.

Customers at the Boulder and Longmont markets were invited to enter hourly raffles for prizes from 8:30am – 12:30pm. Special children’s activities included face-painting, balloon-sculpting, and a free 25^th anniversary activity book for every child.
