A Refreshed Mission to Meet the Moment
If we want to continue to have exceptional farmers markets in our community, we need to act now to support farmers. According to the 2022 Census of Agriculture, the number of farms in Boulder County decreased by 18% from 2017 to 2022, while farm-related income was down by 23%. Markets alone cannot protect local agriculture. By bringing together farmers, shoppers, and community partners, we’re building a grassroots movement to support the future of farming in our region.
At BCFM, we believe farmers markets should be about, well, farmers. That’s why we’ve remained committed to running producer-only Seasonal Farmers Markets for 40 seasons. Everything you find at our markets is grown, raised, and made right here in Colorado, by the same person who is selling it to you. That’s our promise.
Our Food Hub makes buying and selling local food easy. We offer an online marketplace, subscription programs, wholesale buying opportunities, and charitable programming to get more local food out of the field and into our community.
Giving back has always been in our DNA. From starting our own WIC incentive program in the eighties, to piloting Double Up Food Bucks in 2014, we have always believed that farmers markets can do more. Today, our Community Impact programs have expanded to include food security, local advocacy, community building events, and education about local food.

We’re grateful to support more than 150 farmers, food trucks, food businesses, and artisans each year through our Seasonal Farmers Markets and Food Hub. From multi-generational farmers, to first-year entrepreneurs, there’s no shortage of incredible vendors within our local food community.
While much remains to be fixed in our local food system, we’re lucky to have so many fulfilling (and delicious) solutions in front of us. Whether that’s shopping local, advocating for farmer-friendly policies, volunteering or making a donation, we all play a part in shaping the local food future we deserve.
