Woodland Park Winter Market

Teller County Farmers Market Association governs the Woodland Park market as an independent 501(c)(3), giving this seasonal market a nonprofit backbone rather than a purely transactional setup. In Woodland Park, the winter edition is tied to the Ute Pass Cultural Center, where market-day parking is available at the front, back, and side of the building. The market also accepts SNAP/EBT and participates in Double Up Colorado, which adds a strong food-access piece to the shopping trip. That combination of nonprofit management, an indoor winter setting, and nutrition benefits makes this market feel oriented toward regular local use as much as special-event browsing.

Why it matters locally

The market is run by the Teller County Farmers Market Association, an independent nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status, and the City of Woodland Park is named as a major sponsor and prime supporter. That civic structure matters because the market’s work extends beyond weekly selling. Through The Longer Table, food left from participating vendors at the end of each market is collected and distributed at the Aspen Mine Center.

Its programming also reaches different age groups within the vendor base and the wider community. Young Entrepreneurs invites kids ages 8 to 18 to test and sell product ideas at the market, while the market also supports vendors age 70 and older through its Seriously Senior program. In summer, youth interns help run the market, adding another practical local role beyond retail.

What you'll find there

The market describes its mix in broad, practical terms: local and regional farm goods alongside pantry items and prepared products rather than a single narrow specialty. Expect a food-first lineup shaped around staples people actually shop for.

• -Find local and regionally grown fruits and vegetables.
• -Pick up local and regionally raised meats.
• -Browse plants, flowers, and herbs.
• -Look for farm-fresh eggs.
• -Shop baked goods and locally made food items.

The calendar also includes a Holiday Market at the Ute Pass Cultural Center on the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 9am to 1pm.

Know before you go

For the winter market, parking is available at the front, back, and side of the Ute Pass Cultural Center, so arrival is more straightforward if you head directly for that building rather than Memorial Park. Dogs are welcome, which can shape how you plan the visit if you’re bringing a pet along. One practical limitation: restrooms are not listed as available in the visit details.

If you need cash, there is an ATM in the foyer of the Ute Pass Cultural Center outside the Chamber office. The market’s broader footprint in Woodland Park includes other parking references such as Bergstrom Park off Hwy 24, spots across from City Hall on South Avenue, and parking at the Senior Center, with a note to leave close spaces for seniors.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market, and the market participates in Double Up Colorado. That program provides double vouchers for vegetables and fruit grown and sold in Colorado, up to $20 per market day, with the State of Colorado named as the matching source. Payment methods are also marked as clear in the market’s visitor details.
