An evening to celebrate and support the Durango Farmers Market

Great food starts with great farmers. The Farmers Table brings together the farmers, ranchers, and chefs behind the Durango Farmers Market for an evening built around fresh, local ingredients and the stories behind them.

This isn't a traditional farm-to-table dinner. It's a chance to experience the Durango Farmers Market after hours.

Five local chefs, all small business owners and familiar faces at the market, have each been paired with a Durango Farmers Market farm and/or ranch. Together, they've created a tapas-style dish featuring ingredients sourced directly from their partner producer. Each course reflects the chef's own culinary style while celebrating the diversity of our local food community.

Throughout the evening, you'll have the chance to meet the chefs, visit with the farmers and ranchers who supplied each course, and hear the stories behind the food you're enjoying. Those conversations and connections are what make The Farmers Table unique.

We'll also have a silent auction running throughout the evening, featuring items and experiences donated by businesses throughout our community. Bidding will take place online, but all of the auction items will be on display at the event so you can browse, bid, and keep an eye on your favorites throughout the night.

Every ticket purchased helps support the Durango Farmers Market and our year-round work, including weekly Market Days, 2nd Saturdays on Main, educational programs, and initiatives that strengthen local agriculture.

We hope you'll join us at the table.
