Eat Local
Meet us at the Durango Farmers Market!
As the 2025 San Juan Sponsors, Local First and Peak Health Alliance are proud to support local farmers, makers, and small businesses every Saturday from May 10 through October 25.
Visit the Local First booth to meet some of our amazing member businesses, discover new ways to support local, and learn how we’re working to strengthen the local economy in La Plata County. Throughout the season, we’ll be featuring different members, sharing community resources, and celebrating all things local.
Whether you’re shopping for fresh produce, handmade goods, or connecting with your community, the Durango Farmers Market is the place to be — and we’d love to see you there!
