What Makes Cheyenne Farmers Market Special
The magic of the Cheyenne Farmers Market lies in its sense of community. This is a place where local families, friends, and neighbors gather to celebrate together. Not just that, as Community Action of Laramie County's annual Board Fundraiser, the Cheyenne Farmers Market address food insecurity among seniors, low-income families and individuals. With 5% of vendor sales being returned to our community and over $10,000 being distributed in market tokens to the low-income population, the Cheyenne Farmers Market emphasized taking care of our community members. The market not only serves consumers but also nurtures a deeper appreciation for community.
Last year, we welcomed an influx of new vendors and even saw a 25% increase in visitors compared to 2023! There’s always something new to discover, from seasonal specialties to beloved classics. This is a wonderful opportunity to educate and inspire while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere that the Cheyenne Farmers Market offers.
