Vail, Colorado – May 11, 2020 –The Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show will launch a virtual farmers’ market experience and online store to allow customers to purchase produce and locally sourced artisanal products from Farmers’ Market vendors.

“The Vail Farmers’ Market is an event the whole community looks forward to each summer. In these challenging times, we worked creatively with the market vendors to develop a virtual concept that supports our local businesses, farmers and community,” said Angela Mueller, Vail Farmers’ Market Executive Director. “Additionally, we are working with the local and state health officials and the town of Vail and we plan to open the physical market in some capacity in July.”
