What is the Royal Gorge Farmers Market?
The Royal Gorge Farmers Market (RGFM) is produced and managed as a collaborative partnership between the Royal Gorge Chamber Alliance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the Fremont Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) supported by their AgStart Program. As a new tradition in Fremont County, we strive to contribute to the success of local food growers and producers, as well as other businesses, and create vibrant community gatherings. Event proceeds directly benefit programs of the Royal Gorge Chamber Alliance Foundation, Chamber Alliance, and the FEDC AgStart programs. The RGFM will be a member of the Colorado Farmers Market Association.
