The Pine River Community Resource Center (PRCRC) is pleased to welcome two new non-profit organizations providing services at the location, the Grief Center of Southwest
Colorado and the Bayfield Farmers Market. Additionally, with the closure of Lizzy Q’s
coffee shop, the local AA and Al-Anon groups and others are now meeting at the CRC as
well.
The Grief Center of Southwest Colorado provides support and resources for individuals
and families experiencing grief and loss in locations throughout Southwest Colorado.
Serving people of all ages, including children, teens, and adults, the program offers
counseling, support groups, and educational programs to help clients navigate the grieving
process. Director Judy Austin says of the opening of their Bayfield office, “The Grief Center
of Southwest Colorado is honored to be part of a thriving nonprofit space. This allows us to
provide grief counseling within an environment of shared values and where our bereaved
families can receive comprehensive support”.
The Bayfield Farmers Market (BFM) operates a local, farmer-managed Co-op providing pre-season and seasonal weekly Pop-up Markets for small local farmers, ranchers, cottage
food, and artisan businesses.
Suzanna Schroeder, founder of the BFM says “Having an office at the CRC provides the
Bayfield Farmers Market a venue for collaboration with our partners at Pine River Shares, to
conduct meetings, plan upcoming events, and showcase vendor information and
products. As a small cooperative operating with a highly constrained budget, we are
grateful for our space at the Pine River Community Resource Center.”
PRCRC’s anchor tenants and management team, Pine River Shares, the Community
Treehouse, and Pediatric Partners of the Southwest, welcome the new additions and the
supportive services they bring within reach to residents of the Pine River Valley.
The PRCRC, located at 658 South East Street in Bayfield, provides affordable rental and
event space for organizations providing essential services for residents of the Pine River
Valley. For more information, or to inquire about available space for rent or use, call 970-
