For nearly 40 years, Boulder County Farmers Markets has connected our community through locally grown food. We've witnessed Boulder's organic food movement flourish, supported family farm transitions, and celebrated businesses that grew from market booths to store shelves.
But local agriculture faces an uncertain future. Rising business costs, record-high housing and land prices, and climate change are making Colorado farming increasingly difficult. Feeding our village takes a village—and a bold vision.
In celebration of our 40th anniversary, join us as a Founding Friend and help grow the next generation of local food. Your contribution:
- Supports more than 175 farmers, ranchers, beekeepers and producers with critical business, marketing, and infrastructure resources
- Delivers over 480 hours of seasonal farmers markets bringing know-your-farmer experiences to Boulder and Longmont
- Fuels 50 weeks of year-round food access through our food hub and low-income CSA programs
- Builds inclusive programs ensuring all community members access fresh, local food
- Strengthens our team's ability to create welcoming spaces connecting people, food, and story
