By Alexa Vasquez, Founder/CEO and the NOCOVFM Team and Candida Marques, Co-Owner, Marketing/Sales & Website Director March 7, 2021

NOCOVFM Turns One!



Happy One Year Anniversary to us! 


NOCO Virtual Farmers Market opened their Facebook page on March 17th, 2020!

 

We are officially one year old and what a year it has been!


From our humble beginnings of 10 deliveries the first weekend, and a handful of vendors, to a month later, in April of 2020, when we launched the current website. We now await our new website that we have been judiciously working on, all we can say is: “It has been quite a year!”


A year of learning, growing, maintaining, helping and so much more!



We are grateful to our vendors who now span over 100 and growing who have blessed us with almost two thousand products on the platform. We love our vendors and enjoy helping them grow their businesses, were it not for our vendors we would not have wonderful products for our customers to enjoy each week.


This year has also blessed us with the most remarkable and loyal customers.


Were it not for our customers, we could not stay in business. So we thank each and every one of you for your loyalty and also thank our new customers for taking a chance on us and supporting us. We strive for excellent customer service and if we hope to gain your trust.




This year has given us a great team of people who support our vision.


We are blessed with a wonderful team of drivers, sorters, and an incredible social media expert, Bri, who we love. We are also grateful to our general manager of operations, Stephanie, who without her input and help we would be overwhelmed. We are grateful to all our employees and we thank them for their dedication and service each week.



NOCOVFM as a virtual farmers market continues to grow and we are managing the growth slowly and steadily. As many of you may know, Candida, Alexa’s mom, and business partner lives part-time in New Jersey and part-time in Colorado. She is currently working remotely from New Jersey and we are amazed how our market is reaching vendors and customers in other states.


NOCOVFM is rolling out NOCO Nation!




Candida has been approached from small local businesses in NJ, PA, NY and MD. These small businesses and local market vendors have asked to join our marketplace and we have graciously accepted them onto our platform. Because of these requests, we are supporting small businesses in other states that can bring to you the finest in quality, and unique products. With this said:


We ask each and every one of you to join us this coming week as we celebrate

our first year of operations.
