Berthoud’s Farmers Market Becomes The Fickel Farmer’s Market
Berthoud, Colorado (March 7, 2023): The Berthoud Farmer’s Market is now The Fickel Farmer’s Market and is moving to Thursday evenings under the management of the Town. Berthoud Local, a non-profit dedicated to supporting the local food movement by working to improve access to local food and encourage local food production transferred ownership of the farmers market to the Town of Berthoud in February so that they may focus more on their community garden, educational program, and other community events. Town Administrator Chris Kirk says, “Berthoud Local has done an incredible job of building this community market and the Town is excited to continue the great tradition and try some new ideas to expand its impact even more.” He continues, “Moving it to Thursdays eliminates the competition of other area Saturday morning farmers markets, giving vendors another opportunity to sell locally, and it creates a gathering opportunity on a weeknight evening that we didn’t have before.”
The Fickel Farmer’s Market will run Thursdays from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM from June 8 through September 21, 2023, at Fickel Park in Berthoud. Vendor registration is currently open at Berthoud.org.
