Northern Colorado Food Incubator

Welcome to the Northern Colorado Food Incubator

The Northern Colorado Food Incubator (NCFI) is dedicated to a Living Economy: locally sustainable and globally fair. Working collaboratively, we support independent community- and land-based businesses and advocate for a whole, resilient community and bio-region. We provide support, guidance and assistance to food-related businesses and entrepreneurs in Northern Colorado.

What We Do

With our partner Be Local Northern Colorado , we support independent businesses. You can become a business or household member here

We provide free consultation to help your food-related businesses succeed - find start-up information here

Along with many partners, we're working to develop the Fort Collins Community Marketplace - see a conceptual drawing here

We sponsor post-season indoor markets, modeled on the farmers markets. In 2008-2009 there will be one market a month from November through March. See the What's New column to the right....
