From Farm to Table… The Durango Farmers Market

Saturday, August 1st, 8am - 12pm

If you’re headed up to the mountains or planning to go play in some fresh cool water this weekend, make sure you stop at the local farmers market before you go! The Durango Farmers Market works hard to provide the freshest fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, eggs and much more! All of the products sold at the market are produced within a five county local radius-- the best part? It’s all as FRESH as you can get. If you can’t make it this Saturday, be sure to check it out at the TBK parking lot downtown every single Saturday morning!
