Summer Farmer’s Market Agenda
In an effort to focus more on our community supported agriculture program, we have made the decision to cut back on  farmer’s markets this summer.
We will no longer attend Cherry Creek Fresh Markets on Wednesday or Saturday, but you will still find us at the Old Town Ft. Collins Market on Saturday and the Old South Pearl Street Market on Sunday.  We apologize to anyone this may impact, and hope we can still accomodate you through other outlets.

CSA Fair
Still undecided on the best CSA for you?  Join us at the CSA fair!  An expected 20+ community supported agriculture programs in the Ft. Collins area will be in attendance to showcase their farm’s program.  The fair is on March 2 at the Opera Gallery in Old Town Ft. Collins.   http://www.belocalnc.org/for-community/csa-fair/  for more information.

Coming this Season
There are over 30 vegetables and 200 varieties on this year’s planting list!!  New this year will be burdock (pictured above), Belgium Endive, radicchio, artichoke and popcorn.   LFF’s unique mix and wide variety of vegetables is one of our customer’s favorite things about the farm, and something that makes Local Motion CSA a unique and often educational experience for members.  Check out our website, http://www.lefflerfarms.com/136-2/, to see 2013’s complete planting list.
