Living downtown on the West Side of Colorado Springs has perks! Every Saturday morning I am awakened by the fresh smell of roasted Chilies from the farmers market held in Bancroft Park across the street from where I live. Fruits and vegetables are grown in the Valley about 35 miles south of here and trucked in fresh for the neighborhood on a weekly basis. With multiple stands and competitive prices, it's easy to find the best things to eat that Colorado has to offer. Enjoy the pictures.
Pueblo Chilies are the number one cash crop around these parts, the ones that don't get eaten become decorative displays.
Roasted right on site with fresh garlic is the only way to go. You can smell these for miles around here.
For 30 bucks a bushel (one green bag) you can freeze Chilies for all the winter Broncos Games.
The selection of farm fresh vegetables picked yesterday is endless and will give you one hell of a workout carrying it home.
Peaches grown in this part of Colorado will rival anything hanging from the trees in Georgia.....believe me!
The melons are grown in Rocky Ford, Colorado and shipped all over the country, we are well know for these.
No additives here! This is the hard work of 100% hard working Colorado honey bees.
Baked fresh everyday by the French bakery right next door to my house! I love this place.....
The first pumpkins are starting to harvest, fall is right around the corner.
You should be nice and hungry by now! Go find yourself a farmers market today and support these local farmers that bring us this quality homegrown food. Hope you all have a great weekend.....imma bout to stomp a mud hole in this watermelon.
