Mercadillo en el Rio
A San Luis Valley Farmers Market
Weekly on Wednesdays, July - September from 3 to 7 PM
Stay tuned for pop-up markets & events!
What started out as a farm stand with just a few farmers has grown into a thriving market with fresh produce harvested right on the property. Farmers are joined by local artists, musicians, performers, and makers to sell their goods to SLV community members in a vibrant open-air market setting.
We hope you’ll join us this summer for our weekly farmers market at Rio Grande Farm Park.
