Boulder County Farmers' Markets | Boulder & Longmont

While there is plenty of space for people to sit ,and lots of great food and farm vendors, the biggest complaint I have with the Boulder County market is that it's layout makes it very difficult to stop and talk to farmers. Because it's set up on either side of a tight street with one main walkway (for the most part) you're encouraged to keep moving. When it gets really busy, I have been pushed forward by crowds. One of my favorite parts of the market is talking to farmers about what they do and how the farm looks, and I've found it really hard to do this at the Boulder County Market. A better layout would be a circle, or a square. If the market were spread out to the area currently reserved for sitting, people could then hang out and talk with their farmers and still have enough space to sit and relax, and the market would be more unified.
