Summer in our valley provides us with a handful of outdoor fun, local events, plus long and warm days. There are many events and activities that define the “official start of summer” in our community; one of the most notable ones is the start of the local weekly farmers markets.
From Rifle to Aspen, the farmers markets provide us with the enjoyment of purchasing local and sustainable goods once a week in the summer season! RFTA operates throughout our region, making it easy for you to attend these local markets in a green and eco-friendly manner.
