Market News

Welcome to our 2010 season --

The market this year is a great place to grab a lunch while shopping. We have several new vendors this year. Check out the freshly roasted Corn, Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes. Arturo and family are bringing their Tamales, fresh salsas, tortillas, empanadas and Chips from Greeley. New also is Great Harvest breads ( free samples ! ). A & M Foods have pork and vegetable potstickers, served with their special spicy dressing. MouCou Cheeses are here now. And the drinkable Yogurt is not to be missed !

We are a growers market supplemented with specialty processed goods. We do our best to offer you, the customer, a variety of high quality produce, plants, fruits, cheese, and meats as well as specialty products which nicely complement the local merchants. We appreciate the support of these local merchants in allowing our use of the parking lots at both our Loveland and Fort Collins locations. We hope you will show appreciation as well by stopping in and shopping with them during our off season too! Thanks for your support!

Several of our vendors will be at the Winter Farmers' Markets sponsored by Be Local Northern Colorado. These are the folks who put out the Be Local Coupon Bookand who are working to establish a location for a year round farmers' market in Fort Collins.

Purpose
Return to top

The number of farmers' markets is growing across America as more consumers become interested in buying fresher produce and supporting local farmers. An added benefit is that well-run farmers' markets can be educational, and are always fun!

Along the Front Range of Colorado, agricultural land is being turned into housing and shopping at an alarming rate. Concerned citizens might support agriculture in general, but don't understand how they can help their local farmers or ranchers. After all, health laws prevent people from buying raw milk from dairies or individual steaks from ranches. And time and distance make it impractical to drive 30 miles even for the freshest carrots and tomatoes. 

Most farmers' markets seem to be either organized as a cooperative, with each member contributing what skills they have, or as a for-profit-venue by enterprising individuals.   Sometimes, cities and counties become involved in farmers' markets by offering sites or organizational support. We are proud members of the Colorado Farmers Market Association

In Larimer County there are at least five separate Farmers' Markets. The Colorado Agricultural Marketing Cooperative ( who sponsors this web page ) offers three markets to local growers and consumers. (Emphasis on local here, as produce is restricted to Larimer, Morgan, Boulder or Weld Counties, with the exception of Western Slope fruit). The County of Larimer offers its own market which is run by its Master Gardener volunteers on Saturday mornings at the Larimer County Courthouse Parking Lot on the north side of Oak Street between Mason and Howes Streets. Also on Saturday mornings is the Drake Road Farmers' Market. There is also a market on Thursday mornings in Estes Park, and Thursday afternoons in Berthoud.
