Farmer’s Market Season Begins
Jeremy and I went up to Fort Collins this weekend to a winter Community Market at the Opera Galleria. We have been dying for the farmer’s market in Boulder to open and even though there wasn’t much in the way of fresh produce they had lots of cool local vendors. We bought quite a bit of random stuff, including grass-fed beef soup bones, a dog treat for Nikko, cupcakes, pasta, and organic all purpose cleaner. Nikko loved her dog treat and Jeremy and I loved the cupcakes from the Butter Cream Cupcakery in Fort Collins. We have not tried Denver’s Pappardelle’s pasta yet but we bought two different kinds, garlic chive papparadelle and sweet red onion linguine. The all purpose cleaner we bought is concentrate and is organic and biodegradable that smells great from Queen of the Meadow.
Winter Market Haul
The Boulder Farmer’s Market opens this coming weekend (Saturday, April 4 from 8AM-2PM) and we will be heading there on Saturday morning. To find a farmer’s market in your area go to Local Harvest’s search and type in your zip code.

I see you too ate your cupcakes so quickly you didn’t have time to take a pic of them. Good work.

Seriously, I just wrote “too” instead of “two”. Ugh.

Steph – not sure if the Pappardelle’s lady told you this, but Pappardelle’s will give you a discount on your next purchase if you bring back / re-use the same Pappardelle’s bag. Queen of the Meadow also offers a discount if you bring back the container for a refill. I LOVE the cleaning product, it smells really good!

Angie – Yes the cupcakes were gone pretty much as soon as we got home, I’m honestly surprised they made it that far!
Amanda – Thanks for the info! That is really cool that they will give you discounts for reusing the packaging. Have you bought stuff from Queen of the Meadow before?
