Grow Local: Strengthen Farmers Markets & Community

Farmers Markets Take Community: Colorado Farmers Market Association (CFMA) is dedicated to supporting the your favorite local farmers market and building a thriving local food system. By supporting the Colorado Farmers Market Association, you’re investing in more than just markets—you’re fueling an agricultural movement. 

Farmers (and) Markets #1 Fan: CFMA supports over 70 producer-focused farmers markets across Colorado. By providing technical assistance, training, mentorship, and peer networking opportunities, CFMA empowers local market managers to succeed. Together with our member markets, we empower small farmers, connect communities to fresh, nutritious food, and ensure equitable access for all. 

The Meat &Potatoes: CFMA provides essential resources like training, marketing, and operational support to markets across the region, helping them grow and flourish. Farmers markets are hubs of connection, culture, and health. CFMA supports these community insitutions by:

1. Helping farmers markets and farmers access the resources and technical expertise they need to support their locally community. 
2. Empowering markets to serve as business incubators by providing consistent platforms for small local food businesses to be found, therefore contributing to a sustainable economy.
3. Engaging in local policy to ensure farmers can thrive. As a vital link between farmers markets and state agencies, CFMA advocates tirelessly at the state level to ensure farmers markets have a voice in policies that impact markets, farmers, and the communities they serve.
