Community Sprouting Growth

Established in 2002, the Golden Farmers Market (GFM) is a cherished community event in Golden, Colorado, managed by the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

We are dedicated to promoting food equity, enhancing community connections, and nurturing growth and innovation. As an incubator for local businesses, our vendors infuse life into Golden, helping our community thrive. The GFM is a hub for bringing people together, aptly described by our tagline, “Community Sprouting Growth.”

The mission of the Golden Chamber of Commerce, a 501(C)6 nonprofit organization, is to enhance and promote the economic environment of the Golden Area through supporting chamber members, collaborating with businesses, city, county, state, and community resources, and putting forth efforts to improve the quality of life for the community at large.

Our core values include:

Food Equity
Community Connections
Growth and Innovation
Incubating Local Businesses

The revenue generated from vendor sales commissions supports market operations and contributes to the economic development of the Golden community. The Golden Chamber adheres to all Jefferson County Public Health requirements and City of Golden regulations and is a proud member of the Colorado Farmers Market Association and the Farmers Market Coalition, promoting their vendor guidelines.

What does the Golden Farmers Market do for small businesses?

“The Golden Chamber played an important role in supporting the growth of our small business through in-person opportunities and community connections. After launching Alyth Active in October 2021, we joined the Golden Farmers Market in the summer of 2022 – a market we personally love for its high-quality vendors and beautiful setting. Selling face-to-face with customers was incredibly successful and helped us build strong local relationships. That experience gave us the confidence to open a storefront in downtown Golden, and today we are proud to have a thriving brick-and-mortar business rooted in the Golden community!” — Alysha Schuring, Alyth Active

“Sophie Scully opened her dream coffee truck in August 2019, parking full-time in South Golden.
The following summer marked her first season at the farmers market, an unusual year due to
COVID restrictions. In hindsight, it turned out to be the perfect slow and steady start, especially
as she quickly became one of the most popular trucks at the market.
After six successful years running the coffee truck, Sophie felt it was time to take the next step
and transition into a brick & mortar location. Finding the right space proved challenging as many
available properties required extensive renovations, and there was a general lack of options
accessible to the public. Eventually, Sophie decided it was time to share her vision with the
community to help bring her plans into focus.
About a month after discussing her frustrations and future goals with Nola from the Chamber or
Commerce, the School of Mines reached out to Nola. It was regarding a cafe space in the new

off-campus School of Mines housing Mines Park, Golden. The timing was truly serendipitous.

Just eight months later, Sophie Scully moved into her “little piece of heaven.”
Throughout the journey, the Chamber of Commerce has been an invaluable resource for
Scully’s, offering guidance, connections, and, most importantly, unwavering support every step
of the way.” — Sophie Scully, Scully’s Cafe
