SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMERS

The unbeatable beauty about this market is you’re not only getting the best of the best when it comes to healthy products, but you’re also supporting the local economy! Not only do all the hard-working growers come from the region, but also all the ready-to-eat vendors make everything using freshly curated products.

Come out and join the fun! There is always live music playing from a local band that rocks out while you shop. Freshly brewed coffee and other fun beverages are available as well as ready to eat pastries, pizza, tacos and more!

“We believe that by featuring locally produced foods and goods, we provide a healthier, more enjoyable quality of life in the Durango region.”
