Regarding the farmers market, Terry’s guess is probably on the mark, though there may be some veggies in the mix. As stated in the story:

“[M]any farmers keep greenhouses going in the winter, FreshFarm spokesperson Janna Howley said in July. That means spinach, frou-frou salad greens and even a few tomatoes will be available this month. And produce like root vegetables, winter squash and apples keep well in storage after the fall harvest, she added.

Vendors in winter were also likely to sell homemade jellies, apple butter and pies made from fruit grown over the summer. And vendors who hustle bread, granola, cookies and lavender-infused rice crispy treats would likely continue their thang regardless of the season, Howley explained.”

Regarding the recycling of Christmas trees, I’ll look into it. One would think that MoCo would have a similar program.
