About Us

Durango Farmers Market is a community nonprofit connecting regional growers, food producers, and small businesses with 1,000–2,000 shoppers each week. We curate a vibrant, family-friendly marketplace and year-round initiatives that strengthen our local food system, including Market Day (with our 2nd Saturdays on Main pilot), Farm-to-Neighbor, Taste the Market: Guest Chef Program, and food-access support. With partners across the region, we educate shoppers, expand access to fresh, local food, and help farm and food entrepreneurs thrive—because We Grow Community.

Vision

A resilient, inclusive local food economy where farmers and ranchers can make a living on the land, every household has access to fresh, local food, and our public marketplace serves as a weekly commons for learning, connection, and small-business growth.

Mission

The mission of the Durango Farmers Market is to support agriculture and the local community of farmers and ranchers by providing a vibrant marketplace. Within this marketplace, we aim to support the growth of sustainable food networks and local small businesses, enhance access to education, and boost the local economy.
