The Market at Belmar - Farmers' Markets on Waymarking.com

This farmers' market has some unique stalls. Our favorite is the dog adoption stall. This animal shelter always has cute dogs willing to visit with us and of course the dogs are always looking for a good home. There is always a bunch of foods to choose from for lunch eg. burritos, tamales and crepe wraps (savory and sweet). In addition to the locally grown fruits and veggies, we saw seperate stalls for straw hats and bags, animal friendly belts, bags and hats, colored pastas, chair massages, coffee, jerkey, cooking demos, and the Colorado State University Cooperative Extention was there teaching people how to make a compost pile! This farmers' market is a fun place to hang out and have lunch on a Sunday.
