The number of farmers’ markets is growing across America as more consumers become interested in buying fresher produce and supporting local farmers.
An added benefit is that well-run farmers’ markets can be educational, and are always fun!
Farmers’ Markets offer the consumer the opportunity to support local farmers and ranchers by purchasing fresh products directly from the producer.
CAMC was organized as an agricultural cooperative in 1984 with each member agreeing to contribute their skills to the operation and success of the markets.
Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for local producers of agricultural products to market their goods, promote local production of commodities, and serve as a model for other communities.
The Colorado Agricultural Marketing Cooperative offers two markets to local growers and consumers.
(Emphasis on local here, as produce, is restricted to Colorado-grown). Those markets are Sunday, and Wednesday, from 10-2 in Fort Collins.
