The Community Agriculture Alliance (CAA) is a local, nonprofit organization based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, serving the Yampa Valley. Since 1999, CAA has been dedicated to preserving agriculture in the area and connecting producers, consumers, and the community. Their mission is to promote and support agriculture through various programs and initiatives.

One of their core programs is the Resilient Local Food System, which includes the CAA Market. This retail store features a wide range of locally produced items such as meat, eggs, seasonal produce, cheese, honey, and other value-added products from over 60 local producers. CAA believes in the value of local food and its positive impacts on the local economy, environment, and community.

CAA also provides leadership and support for agriculture by collaborating with other organizations, representing agricultural interests, and offering education programs. They also offer the Microloan Program, providing a direct low-cost loan option for local agricultural producers. In addition, CAA fosters connections to local agriculture by organizing Farm and Ranch Tours, providing firsthand experiences with local producers, and hosting Farm-to-Table events.

These events offer a direct connection to the source of our food and celebrate the agricultural heritage of the Yampa Valley. Stay informed about CAA's initiatives and events by following their website and social media channels
