Summer may be officially over, but your Farmers Markets are still going on!

​
Fall is upon us, but that doesn't mean that your opportunities to obtain locally produced fresh food will go away.  Area farmers, milkers, makers and bakers are still able to offer you the most appealing and freshest food products for your tables.  There are a number of markets currently running indoors in Fremont County. 

Riverton Master Gardeners/Riverton Wednesday Farmers Markets are taking place every Saturday at the Fremont County Fairgrounds lunchroom from 9-11 a.m.

The Lander Local Market has moved to the VFW Post at 11 Tweed Lane in Lander. 

The Shoshoni Market is happening the 1st and 3rd Mondays at the Shoshoni Community Room. 

Please see our Markets pages for times and information. 
We will try to keep updating the info as it changes.   

The best of fall harvests is still available:  microgreens, squash, tomatoes, carrots and other root crops, potatoes, onions and a wide assortment of other seasonal produce shows up at our area markets weekly.  Our bakers are coming up with tempting fall delicacies, as well as table staples such as fresh breads.  Eggs are widely available. Homemade jams, jellies, syrups, salsas and pickled vegetables abound.  Craftsmen offer an array of wonderful handmade gift items to stock up on for the coming holidays.  

So don't miss out on your Fremont County FARMERS MARKETS!

​Why buy local food?

​
  • You’ll get exceptional taste and freshness.  
    Local food is fresher and tastes better than food shipped long distances from other states or countries.  Local farmers can offer produce varieties bred for taste and freshness rather than for shipping and shelf life.

  • You’ll strengthen your local economy. 
    Buying local food keeps your dollars circulating in your community.  Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust, the foundation of strong communities.

  • You’ll safeguard your family’s health.
    Knowing where your food comes from and where it is grown enables you to choose safe food from farmers who avoid or reduce their use of potentially harmful chemicals, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified seed.  Buy food from local farmers you trust.

  • You’ll support endangered family farms. 
    There’s never been a more critical time to support your farming neighbors.  With each local food purchase, you ensure that more of your money spent on food goes to the farmer.

  • You’ll protect the environment. 
    Local food doesn’t have to travel far.  This reduces carbon dioxide emissions and packaging materials.
