Laramie Farmer Market

Since its inception in 2004, LRCD has participated in the Laramie Farmer’s  market by providing information to citizens with natural resource concerns.  The Farmer’s Market is a fantastic asset to Laramie’s downtown image, economy, and social scene, as well as a great way for LRCD to have a public presence.  This year we gave away six cases of bug spray, and promoted our well testing program.
