In the rest of the civilized world, even in California where it doesn't even freeze in the winter, farmers markets simply shut down for a few months, but not in Fort Collins. This must be as good as any winter market gets because its February and I bought a bunch of fresh, local spinach that had been growing in the earth since the beginning of winter. The method was amazingly simple (and natural) and the produce was still affordable. There were some other guys who grew microgreens in a warehouse, but they're not near as cool as the guy who grows greens in the ground during the winter. The root veggies stand was loaded with carrots, potatoes, and celery root leftover from the fall harvest. There was also local honey, cheese, eggs, fungi, and a few other whole foods that can sustain a person through the cold winter months. The rest of the booths were things like snack bars, sauces, lotions, and other local processed goods that are available during any season.
