Here is “sup” at the Loveland Farmers’ Market this Tuesday

Come tomorrow for a glorious day at the market! Take your time; browse all the vendors. Meet the new ones; visit with vendors who have become your friends and learn about local food.

Stop a moment and listen or chat with Ellen Mershon, our featured entertainer this week who was one of the organizers of Friends of the Loveland Farmers’ Market, which was instrumental in the return of the market to historic Loveland. Thanks, Ellen.
