Last Winter Farmers' Market of the season set for Saturday

The Cheyenne Winter Farmers’ Market is held inside the sunny and cozy lobby of the Historic Train Depot Museum in downtown Cheyenne. It features farm and hand-crafted products from Wyoming and the local region. The last one of the season is this Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Acoustic Celtic and folk music will be provided by Dave Kramer and Steve Scott. 

What's on tap for Saturday?
  • Gourmet local mushrooms
  • Farm-fresh eggs, goat and sheep cheese
  • Locally roasted fair-trade coffee and herbal teas
  • Fresh breads and home-baked treats
  • Fresh, local salsa
  • Locally made chocolates and candies
  • Grass-fed beef, lamb, and bison, free-range chickens, pork, goat's meat
  • Locally produced jams, honey, and Amish-style peanut butter
  • Take-home BBQ, bratwurst, cabbage burgers, chowders and bisque, smoked wild-caught salmon
  • Soup mixes, rubs, and dip mixes
  • Natural, locally-produced body care products
  • Hand-crafted jewelry, cutting boards, cards, and other hand-made crafts
I've bought a little bit of everything at the market. Last time I went heavy on the pasta from Fort Collins. This time, it's hard to say. I'm so ready for fresh fruits and veggies, but we're still a few months away from that. I grow some of my own but not nearly enough.
