The Foodshed Project
Growing Northern Colorado’s local food economy, from farm to plate & everywhere in between.
The plan
We are developing and implementing an adaptable plan to grow our local food economy for the benefit of all.
Current Projects
Though we’ve just begun, exciting things are already happening!
What is a foodshed?
Your foodshed is all the places that your food comes from and through. We aim to spur more discussion about this all-important geography.
Who we are
We are led and advised by community members, business leaders, farmers, food systems experts, and more.
Market Ambassador Campaign
Donate today to support a Market Ambassador at the Larimer County Farmers Market! This diversity and inclusion program will ensure all members of our community feel welcome at our downtown Fort Collins markets as well as support locally produced food. We are so close to reaching our goal of $3,000! Will you contribute today and help support our local food economy? To donate, please visit our How to Help page and select “Market Ambassador Program” as your donation allocation. For more information on the program visit our blog.
