Father's Day kicks off the Stapleton Farmers Market season. Beginning June 20th, the market will be open every Sunday through October 17th. The vendors set up around Founder's Green (29th and Roslyn) from 8:30 to 12:30. I'm glad to see that the market will be staying at this location and not moving back to the blacktop behind 29th Ave Animal Hospital. While that location as much closer to Starbucks, it could get really HOT!
But this week, as an additional treat, the Rotary Club will also be hosting a Pancake Breakfast from 8:30 - 11:30 at the same location. The Rotarians ask that adults donate $5, kids between 3-11 donate $3, whereas kids 2 and younger can eat for free. The proceeds will go to a number of charitable campaigns, from ending polio to the tree planting that the Rotary Club did along Westerly Creek in April.
To me, this is just another great example of how Stapleton residents not only contribute to our community but beyond.
For those that don't know, the Stapleton Farmers Market is run by Colorado Fresh Markets. These are the same people who put on the Cherry Creek Farmers Market, which was voted the top farmers market in Denver. Their website also has a great crop calendar which is easy to consult prior to walking around and squeezing "this-or-that".
Besides fresh produce, the vendors at the Stapleton Farmers Market also offer fresh bread, pies, cookies, and all sorts of other goodies. If you've never been before, come check it out.
UPDATE: This year the Stapleton Farmers Market appears to be bigger than ever. I say many new vendors, plus there was a portable climbing wall for the kids. I can't wait to see how many of the same booths will be back next week.
