The Foodshed Alliance is a 501c6 non-profit organization based in Salida, Colorado. We manage the Salida Farmers Market and Chaffee County Winter Farmers Market. Our mission is to facilitate a thriving local food economy by organizing and promoting Farmers Markets and Vendors. We manage the Farmers Markets in Salida, Colorado and host ShedFest, a hyper-local, end-of-the-season celebration of the region’s talents and bounty. We connect, develop and promote a healthy community by strengthening relationships between local producers and consumers. We aim to educate and expand our authentic, local agriculture and cottage industry; and empower our community to support a thriving, sustainable food system that contributes to the success of the buy-local community.
