The 4th annual Greeley Winter Farmers’ Market will be held November through April on the second and fourth Saturdays from 9:00 to noon. (first and third Saturdays in December) So, the 1st Farmer's Market is this weekend.  The Market features several of the popular summer market food vendors – beef, mushrooms, baked goods and more – along with local artisans and crafters. The market is in a new location this year at 1100 8th Avenue.

ADDITIONAL VENDORS WANTED

Market organizers are looking for additional vendors who can bring more wonderful local foods and handcrafts. The Colorado Cottage Foods Act allows people to prepare a variety of non-potentially hazardous foods in a home kitchen to sell at farmers’ markets and similar venues. Types of food products allowed under this law include spices, teas, dehydrated produce, nuts, seeds, honey, candies, jams, jellies and certain baked goods. There are some requirements such as taking qualified food safety training and product labeling, as well as limits on how much per year can be sold.
