Paonia Food Movement operates as a Private Membership Association (PMA). This means we are a private network of farmer members and customer members working together to distribute local food outside of the conventional retail grocery system.

As a member, you are voluntarily participating in an alternative food distribution model that connects small-scale producers from Paonia and surrounding areas with members in the Roaring Fork Valley. Paonia Food Movement serves as the bridge — coordinating ordering, aggregation, and delivery between members.

Ordering Schedule

• Orders close Tuesday at 6:00 PM

• Delivery is the following Friday

• A reminder email is sent Thursday with delivery details
