Calling all Colorado farmers, ranchers, and food producers! The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is now accepting listings for the 2026 Farm Fresh Directory, the essential guide to finding the best local produce and agritourism across the state.
This annual publication, set for release in June, is a powerful tool to connect consumers directly with:
• Farmers’ markets.
• U-picks and roadside stands
• Community Supported Agriculture producers.
• Agritourism activities.
• Wineries, farms and ranches that sell directly to the public.
For the second year in a row, the CDA is making it even easier for agricultural businesses to participate. Producers can now submit all their listing information and the fee directly through our streamlined online portal.
“Farm Fresh is more than just a directory, it’s a celebration of Colorado agriculture and a fun, easy way for residents and visitors to shop local,” said Danielle Trotta, Colorado Proud Program manager. “With a digital listing and payment process, we’re saving time and hassle for our hardworking producers and small businesses, ensuring this vital resource continues to grow.”
Interested agricultural producers can secure their listing by filling out an online form, also available on CDA’s Markets Division page at ag.colorado.gov/markets. There is a $25 fee to be included in the directory and the listing deadline is March 13.
The 42nd edition of the Farm Fresh Directory will be distributed across the state through libraries, Extension offices, welcome centers, farmers’ markets and other community partners. It will also be available online and accessible on any electronic device via the Colorado Department of Agriculture website.
