About this Event

The Farmers Table: Growing Food & Community

Come join us at the Rochester Hotel courtyard for a strolling, tapas-style evening of chef–farm pairings, farm-fresh cocktails (and zero-proof options), live music, and a curated silent auction. Celebrate our local farmers and ranchers while supporting the Durango Farmers Market’s nonprofit programs.
What’s Included

  • Five chef + farm/ranch paired tapas
  • One welcome drink; additional cocktails and zero-proof options available
  • Silent auction featuring local experiences and goods
  • Live music and meet-the-farmer & chef moments

Why It Matters
The Durango Farmers Market is a nonprofit devoted to supporting local agriculture and our community by providing a vibrant marketplace that grows sustainable food networks, boosts small businesses, enhances education, and strengthens the local economy. Your ticket funds Durango Farmers Market programs, outreach, and market infrastructure—including Market Day (with our 2nd Saturdays on Main pilot), Farm-to-Neighbor, Taste the Market: Guest Chef Program, and food-access support—so we can keep educating, expanding access to local food, and helping growers and small businesses thrive.

Schedule
5:00 PM Check-in and welcome drink
6:00–8:00 PM Chef–farm tapas and silent auction
8:00–8:30 PM Auction close and acknowledgments
