Union Station hosting Harvest Market Saturday

Denver Union Station will host a Harvest Market on Wynkoop Plaza from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in partnership with Boulder County Farmers Markets, the Union Station Alliance, RTD and the Downtown Denver Partnership.

The Harvest Market at Denver Union Station will feature 10 Colorado farms, locally produced food items and fresh food dishes from Denver Union Station restaurants, including Mercantile Dining & Provision, Stoic & Genuine and Snooze – an AM Eatery. Participating Colorado farms include The Fresh Herb Co, Cure Organic Farm, Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms, Jodar Farms, Oxford Gardens and Plowshares Community Farm.

The Harvest Market will also feature a pumpkin patch and live entertainment. The Harvest Market will be organized by Boulder County Farmers Markets, a Boulder-based nonprofit organization that has operated producer-only farmers markets in Boulder County since 1987.

“This first Harvest Market will enable Boulder County Farmers Markets and Denver Union Station to pilot the idea of hosting additional farmers markets at Union Station,” said Brian Coppom, executive director of BCFM.

“As we approach the opening of the Commuter Rail line to Denver International Airport next spring, we are pursuing new ways to offer travelers and locals alike more quick and curated options at Denver Union Station,” said Joe Vostrejs, partner in the Union Station Alliance.  “We look forward to testing the Harvest Market to see if this is something the Denver and LoDo communities will utilize.”

The Harvest Market will be the first and only outdoor market for Denver Union Station in 2015, to learn more about events held by the historic transit center visit www.unionstationindenver.com.
