Support our local farmers & small businesses! It is so important this season to support our local farmers, ranchers, food producers, and small businesses. Here are a few ways you can shop locally this season and support the people in our community:
FARMS
Native Hill farm stand is open this winter! Visit weekdays 10 am to 4 pm to purchase local, fresh, naturally grown produce. You can also give the gift of locally grown food with their new gift card option, on sale now. And, before we know it, it will be time to sign up for summer CSA shares. Save the date for January 18, 2021, when shares go on sale.
Looking for meat and eggs? Jodar Farms has an online farm store! Pick up spots are offered throughout the Fort Collins – Longmont – Boulder – Denver area. Check out all the locations, dates, and times here.
FARMERS MARKET
The Fort Collins Winter Market is back again this year and has an extended season from November – May. Their new location at Foothills Mall is the perfect place to safely shop all your favorite local food producers (including Jodar!). This month there are markets on December 5th, 12th, and 19th. Visit focomarket.org for all market dates.
RESTAURANTS
Don’t forget to support the restaurants that support our local farmers. This is a very challenging time for the service industry, so please considering ordering to-go, dining outside, or buying a gift card to use in the future.
