Boulder Farmers' market, week three: spinach is in -- but no apricots, ever?

WeeBee Farms lettuce at the Boulder Farmers' Market.

Eating local brings different joys and disappointments every year, and there's a big disappointment coming up -- as I learn from farmer John Ellis at the Boulder Farmers' Market Saturday. No apricots this year, says Ellis, who runs Rancho Durazno peach orchard. Or if there are any, there will be be very, very few. The strange spring weather, deep late snows, cool nights and one profound frost have wreaked havoc on the blossoms. Cherries will be problematic, too. Most orchardists ellis he knows are in the same boat, including a farming couple who left Boulder County to invest in acres of apricots on the Western Slope and have now lost almost all their labor for the year.

I feel downright sulky about this news.

Boulder Farmers' Market, week two: From duck eggs to salmon

By Juliet Wittman Mon., Apr. 15 2013 at 3:59 PM

Categories: Food Festivals

The Boulder Farmers' Market on Saturday, April 13, is one of those variable Colorado days when you're not sure whether to wear a coat, a jacket or a heavy sweater -- and you find yourself peeling off layers as the morning advances. JJ in his wheelchair and Raelene wearing her trademark cowboy hat hold down both ends of the one-street market, selling the Denver Voice.

This is a prime location for selling, says JJ, and he loves coming here even though he has to take the bus from Denver very early in the morning if he's to hold on to his spot. Locations at the market are highly prized because Boulder people are so friendly and generous, he tells me, and the market is such a celebratory event. When he gets bored, he'll roll over to the edge of the bordering park to watch the kids playing.

Photos: The food (and pie faces) of the 2012 Denver County Fair

By Cafe Society Mon., Aug. 13 2012 at 1:21 PM

It's hard to tell which part of the Denver County Fair is better: the food, the festivities or the half-sick, half-elated, entirely dazed feeling you get when you're done with them. Regardless, the annual tradition combined all three (plus a freakshow) once again at the National Western Complex this weekend, and Westword photographer Brandon Marshall was there to capture all the glory and grease. Click through for photos of our favorite foods and messiest faces at the 2012 fair.

Summer Guide 2012: Denver Greek Festival

By Matt Miner Fri., Jun. 8 2012 at 5:39 PM

Categories: Food Festivals

Opa! One of Denver's oldest summer celebrations, the Denver Greek Festival allows people from all walks of life to eat, drink and dance like Greeks at least once a year.

"This is our 47th year doing the Greek Fest. We're one of the original ethnic festivals around," says festival chairman George Andretsos. "We cook all of our own food; everything's made fresh. All of our pastries, pastitsio, dolmathes everything's made by hand. We're one of the only festivals in the country that does that. It's something we're very proud of."
