FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ripe ‘n’ Ready
Museum’s Farmers Market Now Open
Colorado Springs - (7/03/08) Support local growers and the green initiative at the same time! The Western Museum of Marketing and Industry’s Farmers Market is now open on Mondays and Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in front of the museum’s Reynolds Farmhouse.
Renowned for being locally grown and fresh, farmers’markets allow farmers to avoid the middleman thus preserving the nutritional content of fresh produce. Picked at the peak of flavor, the produce does not travel as far to get to your table and therefore saves mileage and fossil fuels.
The market also allows consumers to talk directly to the grower, get the freshest produce possible, and experience the health benefits of fresh produce.
Stop by the market and receive a free coupon to the museum with every purchase. For further information, please contact the museum at 488-0880.
