6 Reasons Not to Go to Denver Farmers Markets

6 Reasons Not to Go to Denver Farmers Markets - 3rd Bird Kombucha

So, you searched “farmers market near me” and ended up here? Before you pack your reusable tote, let's explore why you should absolutely avoid the best Denver farmers markets this weekend.

Spoiler: this is a reverse psychology blog post. You’ve been warned.

1. You hate fresh, delicious food

Why buy just-picked produce from a local Colorado farmer when you can settle for sad spinach that flew in last week from who-knows-where? If limp lettuce and suspicious strawberries are your jam, you’re better off skipping Denver farmers markets entirely.

2. Supporting local businesses? Yikes.

Chatting with the people who actually grow, bake, or brew your food? Sounds a little too… personal. It’s way easier to hand your money to a faceless grocery giant than support someone hustling at the City Park Farmers Market or Longmont Farmers Market every Saturday morning.

3. You don’t want to build community

Live music? Friendly faces? Someone handing you a sample of homemade jam while you sip small-batch kombucha? Yeah, no thanks. If you're allergic to connection and sunshine, Colorado farmers markets are probably not your scene.

4. Not interested in where your food comes from

Knowing how your eggs were raised or your sourdough fermented? That’s just too much information. Stick to the shrink-wrapped mystery meals and avoid the transparency that the best Denver farmers markets on Saturday are known for.

5. You love when your food takes a long road trip

Who doesn’t love produce that travels 1,500 miles to reach your plate? Food grown down the road and picked the day before? Nah. Skip the best farmers markets in Denver on Sunday—local is overrated.

6. Desire a splash kombucha with your sugar

Did you know many store-bought kombuchas have as much sugar as a soda? But hey, they have clever labels and cute branding, so who cares if they spike your blood sugar. Honestly, don’t even look at our booth if you’re not ready for something low-sugar, small-batch, and actually fermented.

Still thinking about skipping the farmers market?

Let’s be honest—you probably do care about fresh food, transparency, flavor, and keeping your dollars local. So come hang out at some of the best Denver farmers markets where real people grow real food and your taste buds will thank you.
