Gunnison: The Local Market on 111 N. Main St.

Also – some of our farmers are asking to reuse the plastic bags they pack your orders in every week. If you have some piling up in your house, bring them to the pick-up location so our farmers can reduce the amount of plastic they use. Thanks!

The Market is Now Open!


Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,

Whether I have my own garden or not, I always seem to find myself with an excess of beets and kale. Last summer, I started making a roasted beet and kale salad, and now it is one of my favorite ways to use fresh produce. Check out a tasty, simple recipe here.

If your mouth is watering, take a look at the several varieties of beets and kale on the market!

New Products on the Market

Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,

We have some exciting new offerings this week on the market:

Big B’s has their Organic Cold-Pressed Apple Cider from this year’s apples. This cider is freshly-pressed and never heated, and is available for a limited time only!

We also have a returning grower on the market from right here in the Gunnison Valley. Big Kids Farm is a cooperatively organized CSA farm that has some tasty, non-GMO produce grown with no chemical fertilizer. Check out the market to see what they have to offer!

Soup Season!


Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,

For me, autumn means soup season! There’s nothing like a warm, comforting bowl to ease us into the colder weather. Check out this recipe for Potato Leek soup, a classic fall dish that will put the delicious varieties of potatoes and leeks on the market to good use.

Don’t forget to place your order before 7am on Monday morning.
