Shopping Brattleboro Farmers' Market

The farmers' market in Brattleboro, Vermont, is the model for others in a region noted for its small farms and agriculture. Southern Vermonters use it as more than just a location to buy freshly harvested produce from small independent local farmers; it serves as a social gathering spot, a meeting spot, a Saturday lunch stop, and a regular part of their weekend schedule. Along with flowers, artisanal breads, farm cheeses, handcrafted soap, local honey, maple syrup, pottery, jewelry, fashionable scarves, and French pastries, you'll discover both your old favorites and all the newest trendy varieties of vegetables. Be sure to arrive around noon, when there is almost always live music and possibly Morris dancers on the shady grass.

For consumption at picnic tables among the trees, several vendors provide cooked delicacies. Savory stews from Mali, Thai noodles, Lebanese dolmas, and even Breton crepes might be available. The market relocates to a Main Street location indoors during the winter. One of the few industrial towns in Vermont, Brattleboro is a cultural and social phenomenon. It was also where back-to-the-landers settled in the 1960s and '70s and never left. Here, the arts are thriving, and you may choose from a variety of gallery openings, plays, classes, community action meetings, concerts, public forums, and other events every night of the week.
