Snap benefits uncertain for november

SNAP recipients may still earn SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks at the Winter Farmers Market if the fuunds on their count alllow. However, we know this is an uncertain time for SNAP funds, and so the WFM is harnessing the power of community to support our valued SNAP shoppers (and our SNAP accepting vendors depending on SNAP sales!).

To support our community, the WFM is hosting a Pay-It-Forward program

(find the donation link below) and matching every dollar donated (up to $600).

SNAP recipients: show your EBT card at our Info Booth

to receive a $20 voucher.

To support our partners at the Food Bank for Larimer County who will see an increased demand at this time, we are hosting a food drive at our November 1st, 8th, and 15th Markets.

Please bring canned goods to the drop box near our Info Booth.

Stay up to date on the situation

Welcome to the Fort Collins

Winter Farmers Market

The Fort Collins Winter Farmers Market (WFM) is Northern Colorado’s destination for fresh, local food and handmade goods throughout the colder months. More than a market, it is a vibrant community hub where families, neighbors, and friends come together to shop, connect, and celebrate the best of our region.

From farm-fresh produce to one-of-a-kind artisan crafts, our indoor market at Foothills Mall makes it easy to enjoy local flavors and support small businesses—all winter long.

Meet Our Vendors

Our vendors are the foundation of the Market. They include farmers, bakers, makers, and entrepreneurs who bring passion and dedication to every market day. Shopping with them means more than purchasing high-quality products—it directly supports the local economy and keeps small businesses strong.

What You’ll Find

Fresh Seasonal Produce - Seasonal vegetables, hardy greens, mushrooms, fruits, and microgreens grown in Colorado.

Handcrafted and Artisan Goods - Unique, handmade products from local artists and craftspeople, including jewelry, textiles, home décor, and candles.

Specialty Foods - Small-batch jams, baked breads, locally roasted coffee, and artisanal cheeses.

Northern Colorado Meat, Eggs, & Dairy - Farm-fresh eggs, milk, and ethically raised meats including beef, pork, and chicken from nearby farms.

Food Access & Equity

We are committed to making fresh, local food accessible to everyone in our community. The Winter Farmers Market proudly accepts SNAP/EBT benefits and participates in the Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program, provided by Nourish Colorado. DUFB allows SNAP users to double their buying power for fresh fruits and vegetables, ensuring families can bring home more of the best local food while directly supporting our farmers.

Supporting Our Community

Every visit to the Fort Collins Winter Farmers Market supports farmers, food producers, and artisans through the more challenging winter season. Each purchase helps keep dollars in the local economy, strengthens Northern Colorado’s food system, and connects shoppers directly with the people who grow and create their food.

The Market is family-friendly, dog-friendly, and features live music and free children’s activities, making it a welcoming Saturday tradition from November through April.

Acknowledging Our Sponsors

The Winter Farmers Market is possible thanks to the support of our sponsors. Their partnership helps us provide a welcoming, accessible space for vendors and shoppers alike. Businesses interested in reaching an engaged, community-focused audience are invited to learn more about sponsorship opportunities here.

Musicians and Performers

Live music is a core part of the Winter Farmers Market experience. Each Saturday, talented local musicians help create the lively, welcoming atmosphere our shoppers look forward to.

If you are a musician or performer interested in being part of the Market this season, we encourage you to contact us.
