By Beth Marketos, MacKID Englewood-Greenwood Village-Centennial Publisher, MacKID Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock-Lone Tree Co-Manager, MacKID Denver and MacKID Lakewood-Littleton Assistant Publisher April 21, 2026

It's Market Time in Denver!

We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family!

Here are four things to note before heading out to markets or pick-your-own farms:

  • Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
  • Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges! 
  • Bring cash as some market stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
  • It's possible that markets may be cancelled due to weather.  Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!

All markets can be found on our Events CalendarLook for the farmer ( 👩‍🌾 ) for farmers markets and the shopping bags (🛍️) for artisan markets. All Pick Your Own Farms can be found in our Business Directory
