FOODSHED ALLIANCE IS A GRASSROOTS, COOPERATIVE NON-PROFIT LOCATED IN CENTRAL COLORADO

The 2026 Salida Farmers Market season is coming to a close! Join us for our last few outdoor farmers markets of the season. Saturdays now through October 24th, 9 am - 12 pm at Alpine Park.

Our last outdoor farmers market of the season is Saturday October 24th, where we host Shedfest (9 am - 1 pm)! A fun fall celebration in which we commemorate the season and go all out with a bang and raise money for the Foodshed Alliance. This year at Shedfest there are so many fun things planned. There will be a chili cook off (sign up here!) a pie baking contest (sign up here!) a raffle, performances from the Salida High School Jazz band and Elemental 5, as well as freshly pressed hot apple cider using Colorado apples. Come out to support the farmers market and all of the incredible vendors as we close the doors on our 20th farmers market season.

The Chaffee County Winter Farmers Market begins Saturday November 14th and proceeds for 6 consecutive Saturdays through December 19th, indoors at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds from 10 am - 1 pm. Find an average of 40+ local vendors most of which who vend during the summer market, and find so much locally grown winter produce including winter greens of all sorts, squash, carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms, cabbage, apples, pears, potatoes, and more. As well as produce, find locally raised ground beef, pork, chicken and steak, eggs, goat cheese, sourdough and soooo many baked goods.

Foodshed Alliance official dog policy at the Salida Farmers Market:

We aim to curate a unique food-focused market and host a variety of local vendors. We highly value the safety and cleanliness of the food sold and consumed at the market. Just like grocery stores, we ask that you leave your furry friends at home while you shop. While we do love our K-9 companions, we know that the market is a bustling environment which can be overstimulating for even the most well behaved dogs. Without dogs, we can maintain a safe, welcoming, and accessible atmosphere where young and old alike can shop and enjoy the market. Thank you for respecting our vendors and neighbors by leaving your dogs at home. Trained service animals as defined by the ADA and State of Colorado are welcome.

We are always accepting new vendors! Apply to be a vendor online here!
