Cheyenne Farmer’s Market’s $750K Season Powers Local Economy and Poverty Relief
By Garrett Grochowski | October 26, 2026
The Cheyenne Farmer’s Market generated approximately $750,000 in gross revenue during the 2026 season, creating a successful year for local vendors and supporting Community Action of Laramie County (CALC), the organization that hosts the market and uses a portion of its revenue to help reduce local poverty.
Operating on Saturdays from August through early October, the market brings together local vendors selling a wide variety of products, including honey, jewelry, tamales, fresh produce, and handmade goods. Each week, vendors set up their booths in the Cheyenne Frontier Days arena parking lot, welcoming residents and visitors to shop local and enjoy a longstanding community tradition.
Building Community Through Local Connections
Beyond its financial success, the Cheyenne Farmer’s Market provides an opportunity for people to connect, socialize, and support local businesses. Families, children, and visitors gather to explore vendor booths, purchase locally produced goods, and spend time together.
Esther Gonzalez, CALC Farmer’s Market and Operations Manager, explained that creating a sense of community was one of the market’s original goals. The market encourages conversations and connections among people who might not otherwise have opportunities to interact.
CALC CEO Sara Vigil also highlighted the importance of bringing people together, emphasizing that these connections contribute to a stronger and more connected community.
A Record-Breaking Season for Local Vendors
The 2026 season was the largest in the market’s history. While previous seasons generated approximately $600,000 in gross revenue, this year’s total exceeded $750,000.
Around 70 vendors participated, with most of the revenue going directly to local growers, makers, and small business owners. Some vendors experienced such strong sales that they sold out of their products before the morning ended.
The market also benefits businesses beyond the vendor booths. Visitors traveling from outside the area contribute to the local economy by purchasing fuel, staying in hotels, and spending money at other local businesses.
Supporting Community Action of Laramie County
The market’s success also helps fund CALC’s mission to reduce poverty and promote self-sufficiency throughout the community.
CALC has served the Cheyenne area for more than 50 years, providing programs related to housing, healthcare, employment support, and advocacy. While government grants help fund many of these services, they often include eligibility restrictions that limit how the money can be used.
The farmer’s market provides a valuable source of unrestricted funding. CALC receives 5% of the market’s gross revenue, allowing the organization to support people who may be struggling financially but do not qualify for certain government assistance programs.
According to Sara Vigil, the market’s contribution represented an increase of nearly $10,000 for CALC compared with the previous year.
This funding helps the organization address gaps in available assistance and respond to community needs more flexibly.
Improving Access to Fresh, Local Food
CALC also distributes $100 worth of tokens to residents it assists, which can be used exclusively at the farmer’s market.
This program helps families access fresh, locally produced food while directing more spending toward local vendors. It also supports small businesses and encourages healthier food choices for people experiencing food insecurity.
Access to affordable, nutritious food is particularly important for addressing health concerns such as diabetes and hypertension, which can be influenced by diet and food affordability.
Looking Ahead
Following the success of the 2026 season, CALC is considering hosting a holiday farmer’s market downtown during Cheyenne’s Christmas lighting ceremony on November 21.
The organization hopes to continue building on the market’s success by strengthening local businesses, increasing access to fresh food, and creating opportunities for community members to connect.
The Cheyenne Farmer’s Market demonstrates how a local market can do more than support small businesses. By generating economic activity, connecting neighbors, and helping fund essential community programs, it contributes to a stronger and more supportive Cheyenne.
