More importantly, you can look in the eyes …

Plans are currently underway for an open-air market at a location in Historic Loveland. Kicking off in June, the Market will be open once a week through October.
The Loveland Farmers Market will enrich and strengthen our community by providing a venue where locally grown and produced items are regularly available. Patrons can meet the farmers that grow the food placed on their tables and learn sustainable and alternative ways of living and consuming locally.
