The oldest farmers' market in the Denver area has started its 31 st year and Highlands Ranch residents get to be among the first to enjoy its local fare! Beginning the first weekend in May, the Metro Denver Farmers' Market will be setting up its farmers and vendorsat the Highlands Ranch Town Center every Sunday from 10 am - 2 pm.

MDFM's local Colorado farmers are generational family growers who have weathered many "storms" to survive as small farms. For 31 years, MDFM has been devoted to bringing quality, locally grown produce and other great goodies to it's for many faithful customers.

There is now a global movement to buy locally grown food as opposed to food grown thousands of miles away. The health conscious believe that "fresher is better" and the ecology minded are concerned with the amount of energy consumed to transport products. "Think Global, Buy Local" is the new catch phrase for our time. For 31 years, MDFM has fit that bill perfectly! Come out and support your old time local farmers! Family Farms Forever!
