In a healthy local foods system, retailers and farmers markets are a vital piece of the puzzle. Lucky for us, the San Luis Valley now has a newly opened local food market, Root Cellar Market in Mosca. Congratulations to the Valley Roots Food Hub team on the soft opening last week. They’ve worked so hard on this project. Give them a visit & support local foods! Double lucky for us, because the only farmers market in the Valley hosted on the grounds of a farm, Mercadillo en el Rio, is hosting its first market in less than two weeks! Come support and get to know our famers, shop local goods, and grab a delicious bite of food while you connect with community members. Speaking of community members, Amber Middleton, our very first AmeriCorp vista and former Farm Park Director, will be at the opening market. Come say hi!

There’s a lot happening with our Local Foods Coalition programs and beyond. Read on for the details…
