Farmers Wanted



I've been seeing this sign for years outside a car lot and repair shop on 67th and Aurora. I believe it's the same spot whose owner was distributing flyers at one of the markets three or four years ago for a market operating every day of the week. I have yet to see a single farm stand there.

It seems like a difficult spot for a farmers' market, not least because a cement barricade makes it impossible to turn in there if you're going northbound on Aurora.

It can't be easy to start an independent market in a town with two solidly established market organizations, and existing markets nearly every day of the week.
