Shop local through the CAA Market!
The market creates connections between local producers and customers through a weekly online ordering system and walk-in shopping location in downtown Steamboat.
There are two ways to buy local food. Here’s how it works:
Pre-order through the CAA Market online market Tuesday evening through Saturday. This allows you to shop from the widest amount of inventory available and select exactly what you want from hundreds of local products. Pickup your order the following week. Typically orders are picked up on Tuesdays, but we are open Tuesday-Friday, 9am-6pm for your convenience.
OR
Walk in to shop our downtown storefront located on the corner of 8th & Oak in Steamboat. We are open from 9am-6pm Tuesday-Friday. Producers often drop off more items mid-week, so you will always find something new in stock.
We believe that a resilient local food system is an important part of our community.
Your support allows producers to keep agriculture vibrant here in the Yampa Valley. As a non-profit organization, we are membership donation based and ask all shoppers to make a yearly contribution.
