A Tale of Two Farmers Markets

The Pagosa Farmers Market live is in its 13th year and our newly launched Online Market is in its 2nd year. Our online offerings now include two additional vendor types. We have added Producers & Makers to our already existing Growers.

Our Growers continue to offer fresh produce during the growing season and online from greenhouses during the offseason while our Producers & Makers offer their food products and creative wares year-round.

Featuring – Direct from Growers & Producers to you fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables and locally produced meats, tamales, breads, honey, jams & jellies, herbal products, seedlings, baked goods (including gluten free) and more. Also offering our SMALL GROWER CO-OP at the live market where you can buy from gardeners who have extra produce but not enough to support an individual booth.

From our makers all kinds of locally created or sourced treasures from our talented artists, artisans and crafters including jewelry, art, photography, sculpture, alpaca socks & yarn, soaps and more.

Why do we do all this? Our goals are to:

* Make local food more plentiful, accessible and affordable to the consumer

* Enhance economic opportunity for Growers, Producers and Makers

* Contribute to the economic activity of the community

About SOS

SOS (Southwest Organization for Sustainability) is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our Mission is to promote a sustainable community with a primary focus in Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County. We grew out of a group of environmentally, concerned citizens in Archuleta county, who in 2008 formed the Southwest Organization for Sustainability. Our founder and Chair is an environmental professional who decided to take action by forming the group after repeated “What can we do?” inquires. Our membership now stands at roughly 150 members. We are solely supported through membership and donation. Your tax-deductable contribution is greatly appreciated. Click here to learn more about memberships.
