We appreciate your continued support of small businesses during the construction. See your different options to get to the Larimer County Farmers' Market.

The Larimer County Farmers’ Market (LCFM) is a well-recognized, long-established market. Each week, the market hosts an average of 60+ vendors. We strive to have a diverse array of fresh, local products available for our customers.

Musicians at the Market

Nothing starts off a morning of shopping better than upbeat, family-friendly music! We feature volunteer musicians at the market each Saturday during the season. It’s a wonderful opportunity for you to play and be appreciated. You’ll also get a few more fans in the process! 

We provide a tent and access to electricity, and you provide the talent. Musicians receive an honorarium for their time.
