Winter Market Season: January 2026!

It’s January! What are market managers and farmers up to? This time of year is what many market managers — those behind-the-scenes angels who keep your favorite markets running — refer to as the “down time” of the year. It’s the time of year that inquisitive market shoppers ask what market managers are doing with their time. Farmers and market managers use this time of year to plan for the upcoming season. What customers experience during spring, summer, and fall months typically takes many months to prepare for. Market managers and farmers are also sleeping, resting, recovering, ordering seeds, and refilling their cups for a new season.

While many farmers’ markets across the state take a break during the colder months, New Mexico’s climate and farming options such as greenhouses, high tunnels, and hydroponics allow for many crops to grow all year long. Following is a list of year-round farmers markets across the state and many that offer altered winter hours or dates. You can also find a dozen grocery stores prioritizing local products who are open around New Mexico.
