I am pleased to announce that Barefoot Homestead will be managing the sales of grass-fed local beef from Fiona’s Funny Farm in Indian Hills! The cows are raised in Conifer and processed locally in Fort Collins. The beef is soooooo good!
Hermit's Wriggly Squiggly Worms will be available at the farmer's market along with high altitude adapted veggie starts! Vermicompost is your gardens best ally! Be sure to pick up a box of them June 1st!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Thanks for the info. I'm friends with Barefoot Homestead on FB, but not the other one. I will just give herl a call. I would like to get my worm box started again.
This sounds wonderful! Especially the part about no craftsy stuff. You're right, homeagain, it sounds like a REAL farmer's market. Thanks for the post!
I am Shantel from Barefoot Homestead. We are very excited to have the market. I am contacting farms in the area and it looks like we will be working with Leffler Farms and Growers Organic from down the hill for organic produce. Ela Farms will be providing us with organic fruit later in the season when harvest for apples, pears, and peaches rolls around. Due to the rough start with the last few storms, there will be a slow start for local produce, but that is normal. We will have produce from Growers Organic this weekend and ALL of it will be from CO farms.
I will be there with eggs, goat milk herd shares, beef from Fiona’s Funny Farm, AND my own handmade all-natural skin care products. Some of you may have seen me out last year with a few. This year they are better than ever! I have improved my recipes, increased the choices and products and upped the quality of my ingredients through some amazing wholesalers that we have found. In a few weeks I will also have a new type of laundry detergent this year! NO more mixing it into the giant bucket of water!
Michelle from Pine Mountain Homestead will have plant starts, goat cheese, goat milk shares, goat milk products, eggs, produce, and more.
There will be a couple of vendors with some awesome handmade goods that are usable in everyday life! Not junky crafts stuff that sit around and collect dust. We are being very selective about vendors so this does not happen. There is a local henna artist lined up as well. She actually makes her own henna! I have never seen anyone do that before. Amazing, I know I will be getting some fun temp ink for the summer! We also will have a local soap maker. She uses the finest quality ingredients and has amazing soaps, bars and liquid castile. I even use her soap in my laundry detergent instead of store bought, know what is in it right? She also will have eggs and produce! We should have local raw honey also, YUM!!!
We will also be hosting kiddos from the area with things they have made, fundraisers they are selling for, and goods from farms they work for. Michelle and I firmly believe it is important for youth to be involved in the community, have an outlet, and just plain be a part of things.
I was able to set up LOCAL COLORADO produce and we have decided not to get anything from out of state. This weekend we will have tomatoes, shitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, herbs, juice, arugula, and mixed salad greens. We will also have wheatgrass for the pets!
