Boulder County Farmers Markets

Boulder County Farmers Markets is a vibrant hub for local food lovers, but gluten-free safety varies widely by vendor. There’s a real sense of community here, and you’ll find gems like Hävenly Baked Goods—a dedicated gluten-free bakery run by someone who understands firsthand how gluten can make you sick. However, the majority of prepared foods and market stalls operate in shared environments, and cross-contact is a real possibility unless a vendor specifically advertises as gluten-free or dedicated. For celiacs, it’s best to stick to whole produce or packaged products from clearly labeled, certified GF producers (like Hävenly or Simply Fresh Microgreens) and always double-check with each vendor about their safety protocols. Honestly, it’s a bit of a patchwork—there are moments of true safety and understanding, but you’ll want to be vigilant and ask questions at every turn.
