Woodland Park Farmers Market

Woodland Park Farmers Market is governed by the Teller County Farmers Market Association, an independent nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status, a detail that shapes the market’s civic, program-driven feel as much as its weekly shopping run. The summer market sets up at Memorial Park at Center Street and Henrietta Avenue in Woodland Park, giving it a clear in-town anchor for Friday mornings from June through September. Alongside produce shopping, the market also builds in weekly entertainers and educational demonstrations, so a visit can include both errands and programmed activity in the same stop.

Why it matters locally

The market’s nonprofit structure is paired with programs that reach beyond simple stall-to-stall sales. The Longer Table collects food from participating vendors for distribution at the Aspen Mine Center, connecting market-day surplus or donations to a local pickup and distribution effort. Young Entrepreneurs invites kids ages 8 to 18 to test and sell product ideas at the market, and the market also employs youth interns during the summer to help run operations. It also supports vendors age 70 and older through its Seriously Senior Program, showing a second lane of support aimed at longtime producers. The City of Woodland Park is a major sponsor and prime supporter of the event, tying the market directly to local institutional backing.

What you'll find there

The clearest picture of the market’s mix comes from its own FAQ and recipe materials: fresh ingredients, Colorado-grown staples, and meal-building items that move from produce to proteins to dairy. Rather than a narrow produce-only setup, the market describes a broader farm-and-food spread with pantry potential.

• -Find local and regionally grown fruits and vegetables at the market.
• -Shop local and regionally raised meats.
• -Pick up plants, flowers, and herbs.
• -Add farm-fresh eggs to your market run.
• -Look for corn, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, scallions, and tomato featured in the market’s recipe collection.
• -Grab chevre or goat milk cheese highlighted in the market’s recipe collection.

Each week also serves as a venue for entertainers and educational demonstrations, adding a regular activity layer beyond shopping alone.

Know before you go

Parking is spread across several summer-market options rather than concentrated in one lot: spaces are available across from City Hall on South Avenue, at the Senior Center, next to the Ute Pass Cultural Center, in Bergstrom Park off Hwy 24, and in public parking lots around downtown Woodland Park. At the Senior Center, spaces close to the building are reserved for seniors, which matters if you are deciding where to pull in first. Dogs are welcome at the market. The summer market is held at Memorial Park at Center Street and Henrietta Avenue, while the Holiday Market takes place at the Ute Pass Cultural Center on the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 9am to 1pm.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Woodland Park Farmers Market, and the market also participates in Double Up Colorado. That program provides double vouchers for Colorado-grown fruits and vegetables, up to $20 per market day, which can meaningfully change a produce budget. The market also links shoppers to USDA SNAP application information as part of its food-access guidance.
