Interested in some honey to help soothe a sore throat or temper spring allergies?

Try some delicious comb honey from Paonia’s Fire Mountain Farm and Apiary. Conventional bee colonies are treated with chemicals like antibiotics and pesticides. Fire Mountain keeps their bees healthy, chemical-free.

Honey is good in tea, baked goods and straight-up off the spoon!

Just a reminder: the market is now open through Monday at 7 AM!

Check out one of our newest products from Essential Edibles/COCOlavida of Crested Butte: coconut milk!
