Grand Junction Downtown Farmer's Market

If you are lucky enough to get into town on a Thursday, check out the local Farmer's Market.

This market offers a wide variety of interesting things, of course there are the produce stands, which will be bursting with fruits and veggies in the next few weeks. This last market featured cherries, tomatoes, herbs, leeks, onions, peas, beets and homemade goodies. Soon it will be bursting with apricots and peaches!
