Shop local through the CAA Market!
The market creates connections between local producers and customers through a weekly online ordering system and walk-in location in downtown Steamboat.
Here’s how the system works:
- Pre-order through our online market Tuesday evening through Saturday. This allows you to see the widest amount of inventory available and select exactly what you want.
- Pickup your order the following week. We are open Tuesday-Friday, 9am-6pm for you to pick up your order!
OR
- Walk in to our downtown storefront located on the corner of 8th & Oak in Steamboat. We are open from 9am-6pm. Producers often drop off more items mid-week, so you will always find something new in stock. While not all of our inventory is at the storefront, we always have the staples available.
We believe that local food is critical to 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.
