Yoga will be offered at 10:30 and 12:30 at the pavilion on the farm and will be taught by the amazing Amanda Meader ($10 suggested donation). Bring your mat and towel.

Other vendors will include (the list is growing):

Ready for 2 days of inspiration with local change makers. LiveWell Colorado

One of my favorite topics to teach, the 5 senses ✋👀👃🏻👂and our 5 tastes 👅. Students love sharing morning smells like their parents coffee and their baby sibling’s stinky diapers 🤣.... what they saw around the room... sounds in school 🔔... touching the carpet, toys 🧸 and then we tasted... bitter - dandelion greens 🥬... salty crackers... sour lemon 🍋 (oh, the faces 🤣)... sweet grapes 🍇... savory/umami seaweed. These little scientists used all of their senses when trying each food. So much fun!

Rather than trying to post while I’m working the Farmers Market, I thought it would be smart to let you all know in advance. This Saturday I’m creating a delicious old-school roasted pepper and tomato salad for the Pepper Festival! I’m showcasing the brand new Browns’ Farm Niwot! 🌶🌶🌶

I will be teaching at Eisenhower Elementary 🐌

So many people seem to think Chick Fil A is a healthier fast food option. Sadly, that’s just not true....

A simple guide...

Sometimes purchasing all organic produce can get really expensive, but one helpful tip is that not all of your produce has to be organic.⠀ ⠀ We can use the research done by the Environmental Working Group to guide us: the EWG analyzes USDA figures to come up with its famous Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists—the produce that have the most and least amount of pesticide residue. ⠀ ⠀ However, I encourage you to buy the items in the Dirty Dozen list organic. ⠀ ⠀ #clean15 #dirtydozen #conventional #organic #drmarkhyman
