. The market will be open every Friday from 2 to 6 p.m. through October on the Focus Points campus at 2501 East 48th Avenue.
HUFM bucks the farmers' market reputation of being overpriced and only for the well-off. Instead, it embraces a focus on access to fresh produce from local resources. Offering fresh vegetables, baked goods, local honey, prepared meals, arts and crafts, cut flowers and information from local resources like the Denver Public Library and Kaiser Permanente, everything is available on a pay-what-you-can basis . This year, market-goers can also use WIC and SNAP benefits.
“This market is definitely unique and different," says Seynabou Sohai, Huerta Urbana’s program manager. “We’re going to be offering some of the same activities as typical markets, but it’s focused on being accessible and meeting people where they are at. Typical markets can sometimes come across as exclusive to certain parts of the community.”
Throughout the twenty-week market run, HUFM will also host workshops on beekeeping, preserving fruits and veggies, trauma-informed yoga, seed saving and other food-focused learning opportunities. Workshop details, including how to sign up, will be announced
