Farmers markets offer an easy — and fun! — way to support local businesses, whether you're buying fresh produce, baked goods or fancy coffee.

Zoom in: We've got the lowdown on four of our favorite weekend markets in Denver.

Cherry Creek Fresh Market

Billing itself as the region's original fresh food market, you can find locally grown greens, organic mushrooms, Palisade peaches and Rocky Ford melons — plus much more — at this centrally located outdoor market. Saturdays, May 3-Oct. 11

City Park Farmers Market

Just outside East High School's campus, mosey through the stalls of food and more. Saturdays, May 3-Oct. 26.

South Pearl Street Farmers Market

All products sold at this market between Arkansas and Iowa avenues must be grown, raised, produced or gathered by vendors in the state or counties immediately bordering Colorado. Plus, this market has live music setting a delightful soundtrack throughout the season. Sundays, May 4-Nov. 9

University Hills Farmers Market

This pop-up returns for the year in a new location, on Illiff and Quebec, roughly 2.5 miles from its previous hub. Saturdays, May 10-Oct. 25.
