Our Market

organic roots

Since 2002, the Telluride Farmers’ Market (TFM) has been providing the residents and visitors of Telluride with access to regionally produced, organic food and crafts from Colorado’s Western Slope. When the town’s food co-op shuttered its doors in the early 2000’s, the people of Telluride found themselves missing the local produce and meats they loved. A group of regional farmers and producers decided to take advantage of the growing local food movement that was beginning to take hold of the country, and thus TFM was born.

TFM's goal as a market is not only to provide our community and neighbor with high quality, locally produced food and artisan craft, but to also create a community space where the customers come face-to-face with the hardworking producers and crafters.

In addition, TFM takes great pride in contributing to the reduction of this community’s carbon footprint. While the food on the typical American dinner plate has traveled an average of 1,600 miles to get there, provisions and vendors from TFM have traveled only 100 miles - or less! All of the meat and produce is grown using organic and holistic practices. We also require all of the prepared food sold at the market to be a minimum of 75% organic, with the remaining NON-GMO.

While we’ve grown over the years, our core values have stayed the same. We can’t wait to see you at the market!
