Celebrating our 50th Anniversary!
This year we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market! 1968 saw the first semblance of the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market when a loose knit group of farmers who banded together to sell produce out of the back of their pick-up trucks. Fifty years later, we have a permanent home in a certified LEED-Gold building, the Market Pavilion, in the Santa Fe Railyard. Our sister non-profit, the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute, was formed to help facilitate the building of a permanent home for the Market. The Institute and the Market now work in tandem to consistently and reliably host one of the largest, most dynamic farmers’ markets in the country.
