We Accept SNAP at Markets! 

SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net.

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) works with State agencies, nutrition educators, and neighborhood and faith-based organizations to ensure that those eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits.

SNAP is the federal name for the program.

The Colorado program is known as the Colorado Food Assistance Program.

Sourcing Local Produce in Winter

In the winter, its hard to find locally grown produce unless its grown in a nearby greenhouse, so try to be conscious of where the produce is sourced from. Look for countries of origin, try to pick the closest location and always choose organic. 

​

Check out the Mountain People's Co-op located on First St. in Downtown Nederland for daily healthy lunch options, bulk items and organic produce.
