The Durango Farmers Market offers Information Booth opportunities for nonprofit organizations and community groups whose work aligns with our mission to support local agriculture, education, sustainability, and community well-being.

Information Booths are intended for education, outreach, and community engagement and are not a venue for commercial activity.

Purpose of Informational Booths

Information Booths create space within the market for organizations to:

• Share educational resources and information

• Engage the community around mission-aligned topics

• Build awareness of local programs, services, and initiatives

All Information Booths must contribute positively to the market environment and align with the Durango Farmers Market’s mission and values.

Who May Apply

Eligible applicants include:

• Federally recognized nonprofit organizations

• Community groups with an educational, outreach, or public-service focus

For-profit businesses are not eligible for Informational Booths.

• No for-profit sales are permitted at Information Booths

• All materials, activities, and services must be educational or outreach-based

The Durango Farmers Market is committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for all. Information Booths may not promote or oppose specific religious beliefs, political parties, candidates, or agendas.

If your organization’s work may intersect with civic engagement or public information (for example, nonpartisan voter education or registration), and you believe it may be an exception to this guideline, please clearly explain this in your application. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
