I just got word that the Colorado Springs Farm and Art Market announced their official location and opening for this summer:
June 11 – October 11, Saturdays 9–1pm at The Margarita at Pine Creek restaurant and Wednesdays 3-7pm at America the Beautiful Park.
The Colorado Farm and Art Market kicks off the growing season in a NEW location with live music and fresh spring veggies. The Pikes Peak Region Locavore Challenge will also kick off at the start of the Market.
CFAM in partnership with the Peak to Plains Alliance will challenge participants to eat only local food, grown or raised within 300 miles of Colorado Springs, during this growing season. Participants will pledge to eat locally at various levels of commitment.
The Pikes Peak Region Locavore Challenge will allow people to connect with their food system, making small changes in eating habits that have a significant environmental impact. Food travels an average of 1300 miles from the field to the table. Though eating locally you can reduce your ‘food miles’ while reducing your carbon food print, supporting small farmers and, eating fresh delicious food!
Exciting news for local gourmands and art folks; I’m a huge fan of the Margarita, and the market is taking place in that big open field just off the patio. Tres Colorado, and very, very local. Plus, I’m a sudden fan of the word “locavore.”

Patty Davidson, the Owner of the Margarita, is the greatest lady ever!! Love the spot, love the food, love the bear (!) that hangs out in that field on summer evenings. How about patio movie night? Last time I was there we watched Fish Called Wanda and sipped Margs until late.
Huebie, we MUST do that this summer. What’s the movie lineup?
