Corn is in, melons, and more!


There's a lot to report on this August. The Española Farmers Market is really booming. Who would have thought this with the usual unpredictibile start of the season?

You can buy lunch at the farmers' market now. Tamales (vegetarian and pork), burritos, and fruit drinks. And many new vendors, over 20 at many Monday markets.

For next week, think fresh corn, cukes, melons, and music on Monday morning. Plus the usual staples. You can get a market t-shirt and farmers market apron at the management tent, as well as the usual free books for young people, one per child.

Heritage chiles are featured on Labor Day Monday.  And free chile roasting when you buy your chiles at the market. See you at the market! It's the usual fun and feasting. Well worth a Monday outing to eat well for the rest of the week!

Great produce you expect and the prices are terrific!!


Well, why not? A growing season isn't the same when you don't visit the farmers market. It is open Mondays throughout the growing season. Why pay more for your special treats when you can chat with the farmers and producers and know that the food is fresh from the field. It isn't shipped across the nation and ocean. It is right here in Northern New Mexico.

No wonder visitors from around the nation and world stop by the market to see for themselves. 

Don't forget the free books for young people. The farmers market is open from June to late October.
