Our mission statement:

To support local producers, encourage a more local food shed and provide fresh local produce to all sectors of the population of the San Miguel Basin. Ideally, we would also like the market to be a community supported meeting place for socializing, enrichment and education.

In addition to the locally grown produce, the majority of which has been grown within 100 miles, we have some extremely talented local craft vendors selling their goods such as hand spun alpaca wool and yarns, handmade glass beads, watercolors, re-cycled artsy clothing, baby and adult quilts.

The produce includes, but not limited to home-grown flowers, all types of fruit and veggies, lavender, honey, grass-fed meat, live veggie seedlings, and live chicks, eggs, and the list goes on and on.

We strive to have a continuous CSU Extension presence to answer questions, collect diagnostic samples, and provide information to our residents. We are also hoping to have a consistent kid's activity area sponsored by local 4H and other non-profit groups that should be educational and fun!
