Foodies, farmers and socialites alike can now breathe a long sigh of relief as the Durango Farmers Market officially kicked off its 2012 season last week. This year’s market features more than 60 small-scale, local producers, selling everything from wool and pottery to bread and broccoli. Situated in that old familiar First National Bank of Durango parking lot, the market meets every Saturday from 8 a.m. - noon during the summer and fall seasons. Here’s a look:
