Market Season To Begin

The Gunnison Farmers Market begins on June 23 and takes place on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.. The market is located on Main and Virginia, conveniently located right in the heart of Gunnison's historic Main Street, with excellent restaurants and enticing shopping all around. Beginning October 13 through November 3, the market moves indoors to the Fred Field Heritage Center located at 275 S. Spruce St (a few blocks south of Safeway).

There will be a wide variety of vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, meat, eggs, yogurt, cheese, wine, granola, crafts and more! The majority of the produce is from the North Fork Valley, just on the other side of the West Elks, but there will be a handful of local vendors offering some of the finest, tastiest, Gunnison grown food.

Live enterainment will be featured each week along with kids activities and cooking demos. The market is the perfect place to breakfast dine with a hot cup of chai tea from Mt.Ovens or a fresh pastry from Fresh Breads and Pastries. Lunch has plenty of options too -- wood fired pizza (Innerfire Mobile), all natural brats (Lucky Dog's), or a local burger (Parker Pastures).

Each week's Farmers Market is an exciting event! Perhaps you'd like to join the crew of volunteers who put it on; if so, drop us a line. Or maybe you'd like to sell your produce, food, or wares at the market - in that case, check out our vendor information page for a 2012 vendor application.

Whether you come as a customer, a vendor, a volunteer or all three(!), we know that you'll enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and general good times at the Gunnison Farmers Market. We're looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
