About this event
Pueblo Farmer's Market Tour
Bring your reusable bags for all the fresh produce you'll find on the Pueblo Farmer's Market Tour, Sunday, July 21st, 2024. The tour is roughly 60 miles in total from Colorado Springs down to the farms and back. We will start at Fountain Creek Regional Park* and head to Hanvover FD for an amazing breakfast to get started. Then continue on down to the Markets.
We will attend 5 Farmer's Markets on the east side of Pueblo all within a 3 mile radius of each other. There will be plenty of time at each farm to sample, shop and look around before continuing on to the next one.While most of the markets accept debit/credit cards, some will charge an additional 3% markup - so bring plenty of cash to save a bit on your purchases!
We will be using Speed Waivers for this event - so please complete the waiver when sent to your cell phone. If not, you will be asked to sign a waiver at Event Check in.
