Our largest market of the year, the Thanksgiving Market is on Saturday November 21st at Montpelier High School from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.  This market is stocked with everything you need to create a holiday feast, and with plenty of treats and gifts for friends and family.  New this year, the Thanksgiving Farmers Market will also have FRESH TURKEY from Applecheek Farm and Tangletown Farm.  We are especially excited to be offering this holiday essential to our customers!

Buy some extra veggies to donate to the Montpelier Food Pantry.   Collection boxes will be at the exit doors of the high school gym.

The Thanksgiving Market kicks off our winter market season, which continues the first and third Saturday, December – April in the Vermont College Gym, at the corner of East State Street and College Street.  All year long, you will find fresh produce– such as salad mix, spinach, Asian greens, sprouts and kale.  The market also has a full range or storage crops and lots of fruit frozen fresh from the field over the summer (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers). Many farmers will also be offering prepared foods such as pesto and soups made from their produce.

But that is not all, our indoor markets carry a variety of cheeses, natural and organic meats and poultry, fresh Red Hen Bakery breads and pastries, baked goods from Butterfly Bakery, prepared foods and fine crafts.  Every week there are new vendors!

We hope to see you at the winter market!
