Old Colorado City Farmers Market
2024-09-14 07:00 - 13:00, 2024-09-21 07:00 - 13:00, 2024-09-28 07:00 - 13:00, 2024-10-05 07:00 - 13:00
The Old Colorado City Farmers’ Market has been a part of the Colorado Springs/Westside community for over 35 years! It is one of the most successful farmers markets in Colorado and is incredibly lucky to have some of the most loyal and amazing customers.
The market was started with the ideology that Colorado farmers and businesses should be closer to their customers, and to provide an environment where citizens can feel more in touch with where their food/goods come from. After all these years we continue to stick to those beliefs and pride ourselves on being one of Colorado’s only grower friendly markets. We believe it is important to keep a farmer’s market what its meant to be, a “Farmer’s Market”.
Many of the vendors that are at the market today have been there either from the start or for decades!
Unlike many markets today, the Old Colorado City Farmers’ Market has always been owned and managed by a vendor at the market. Frank Schmidt of Schmidt Apiaries has been at the market with his honey from the beginning. He started working with honey roughly 40 years ago and can still be seen down at the market every Saturday with his daughter Cindy and son-in-law Rick.
From our humble beginnings to what the market has become today we feel truly honored being a part of the community. We’ve enjoyed building a relationship with our customers and look forward to seeing future generations.
Thank you so much for all the support over the years and the countless years to come!

Empty Bowls Dinner
2024-10-03 17:00 - 19:00
“Food insecurity” is a euphemism and a fact of life even in the Tri-Lakes communities. And, it’s only one of the human needs addressed by Tri-Lakes Cares a community-based, volunteer supported, resource center whose purpose is to improve people’s lives through emergency aid, self-sufficiency and relief programs. It is the only food pantry and human services organization located in and serving northern El Paso County. They are the critical resource for those in need. Those needs are great and the fact that Tri-Lakes Cares continues to meet them is a tribute to the organization and the generous community that provides support.
Some of that support comes from an event named Empty Bowls. It is dinner meant to remind participants that their participation benefits people to whom “food insecurity” is a reality. For the past 30 years Monument Hill Kiwanis Club (and its predecessor) has managed the event that also includes a popular silent auction. This year’s event will be held at Lewis-Palmer High School on Thursday, October 3 from 5 to 7:30 PM.
Ticket price is $25 per person ($30 at the door). Tickets may be purchased at the Kiwanis website (MHKiwanis.org) and clicking on the photo
of bowls. To facilitate family participation, one child under the age of 12 is admitted free with a ticket holding adult. Patrons may select a hand-made bowl and they are provided a meal of soup, bread, beverage and dessert which are provided by donations from local restaurants, merchants, clubs, and churches. Those donations increase the net amount that flows through to Tri-Lakes Cares.
