This is not a farmers market. There is one vendor that sells vegetables and honey. I made arrangements 1 week earlier to purchase a case of Colorado tomatoes from him. Today, I went to pick up my tomatoes from him and he did not have any tomatoes for me. I would recommend to others to your business elsewhere.

We went to the Fountain Farmer's Market because the other farmer's markets we tried didn't have what we were looking for in fresh produce. We were thrilled with the variety of fresh produce we found at the Fountain Farmer's Market, and being able to get fresh farm eggs was a bonus we didn't expect. It is well worth the extra time and gas it takes to get there from Colorado Springs. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 just because when we went back the one vender we really liked wasn't there. Hope he's back next week.

I support the Fountain Farmers Market because of the offering of fresh fruits and vegetables. People can use their EBT benefits at the market and it is building a firm event for the future.

As a local food bank distributor, getting fresh food to families is beyond difficult, families need good healthy sources and Fountain Stepped up to the plate by accepting EBT benefits so a diverse customer base could be served. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, offering great local foods and products. This has become a gathering place and so much is offered to our community like cooking ideas to needing help with canning and gardening and many new acquaintances, so accepting of each other that all feel welcome. This is a vital key to building a strong community and the folks in Fountain are steps ahead. Kudos.

A great local farmers market, where you can not only purchase fresh vegetables, but great salsa, a burrito, or a great loaf of fresh bread.

The market has doubled in size from last year. There are backyard farmers, large, local farmers, lots of fresh food and happy people!

This is just a small town and our market is very small also. Nothing fancy or large. Just local folks growing or making something in the kitchen or shed to sell to other local folks. while the parents shop the children play in the fountain. It is very country, folksy and reminds me of better times in this country.

Well said. I completely agree and that's one reason we make the drive out from the Springs.

The fountain Farmers Market focuses on locally produced products. The one booth which you are speaking about is made up of 7 Localvore Colorado CoOp Members offering what they grow and make as Artisans. We do not want to bring more than we are likely to sell on any one day as they would produce wasted food. If a patron would like a case of something we treat this as a special order requiring prepayment and generally deliver to the person ordering the next time the producer comes to town. We do not wait for the next Market day. Did you place an order with a deposit?
