Description

A colorful stand at the farmer's market selling, fresh vegetable, flowers and fruit. This piece was painted en plein air, on a hot summer day at the Louisville, Colorado farmers market.

According to:
http://www.farmersmarketlouis.com/node/6
Louisville Farmer's Market seeks to support Colorado farms and businesses by providing Louisville and surrounding communities with a dynamic and inviting market that is beneficial to both its vendors and customers by emphasizing the importance of buying local products.
*****
Since 2008, the Louisville Farmer's Market has delighted the community and visitors with locally grown fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, wines, artisan breads, honey, coffee, baked goods, fresh salsas, pastas, natural body care, massage and much more.
*****
When:
Every Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., from June to October
Where:
In downtown Louisville, Colorado, at the corner of Walnut and Front Streets, by the Steinbaugh Pavilion.
*****
Our farmers sell Colorado-grown organic, transitional and pesticide-free vegetables. Our orchard keepers bring organic and conventional fruit from Palisades, Colorado. The quality and diversity of our vendors� produce and products promises you an exciting shopping experience in a friendly, family atmosphere. And shopping locally benefits our Colorado farms, the environment, the community and the economy.
*****
We are sure you will enjoy your visit. Louisville was named Money Magazine�s Best Town in America in 2009 and 2011. The Steinbaugh Pavilion hosts live music, dance, yoga demonstrations and more. There�s plenty of free parking, and the Market is just a short walk from stores and restaurants, parks, art galleries, the Public Library, and the Louisville Historical Museum.

The Boyle's Family Farm, which had this particular stand, is apparently no longer in business. http://boylesfamilyfarms.com/
I am sad to see this, as I had no idea. There is a certain sense of nostalgia for anything small and authentic that , for whatever reason, does not last. They had beautiful produce.
*****
A farmers' market (also farmers market) is a physical retail market featuring foods sold directly by farmers to consumers. Farmers' markets typically consist of booths, tables or stands, outdoors or indoors, where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, meats, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages. Farmers markets add value to communities.
*****
Farmers markets exist worldwide and reflect their local culture and economy. Their size ranges from a few stalls to several city blocks. In some cultures, live animals, imported delicacies unavailable locally, and personal goods and crafts are sold.
*****
The current concept of a farmers' market is similar to past concepts, but different in relation to other forms � as aspects of consumer retailing, overall, continue to shift over time. Similar forms existed before the Industrial age but, were often part of broader markets, where suppliers of food and other goods gathered to retail their wares. Trading posts began a shift toward retailers who sold others' products more than their own. General stores and grocery stores continued that specialization trend in retailing, optimizing the consumer experience, while abstracting it further from production and production's growing complexities.
*****
Modern industrial food production's advantages over prior methods are largely based on modern cheap, fast transport and limited product variability. But transport costs and delays cannot be completely eliminated. So, where distance strained industrial suppliers' reach, where consumers had strong preference for local variety, farmers' markets remained competitive with other forms of food retail. Recently, consumer demand for foods that are fresher (spend less time in transit) and foods with more variety�has led to growth of farmer's markets as preferred food-retailing mechanisms.
