Red Lodge Farmers' Market

Lions Park is the setting for the Red Lodge Farmers' Market, a Saturday market that shifted to this park location and sits across from Beartooth IGA at 8th & Villard. The market runs through the summer season, bringing together local produce, baked goods, and artisan goods in one stop. Its vendor base reaches beyond town without feeling diffuse: the market says it draws more than 20 vendors from three counties, which gives shoppers a mix shaped by the surrounding region rather than a single neighborhood block.

Why it matters locally

More than 20 vendors from three counties is the clearest measure of this market’s local footprint. That reach matters in a place like Red Lodge because the market pairs farm products with baked goods and artisan work, keeping multiple kinds of small producers in the same weekly sales space. The vendor rules also set a 150-mile eligibility radius, which keeps the market tied to nearby Montana producers rather than turning into a general resale venue.

The market also supports food-system participation beyond simple stall space. Its vendor materials point growers toward the Cottage Food Act and the Montana WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program authorization process, showing an emphasis on helping sellers navigate state programs connected to market sales. With Anne Guillon serving as market manager, the market presents a clear local point of contact for vendors and shoppers alike.

What you'll find there

The mix here spans farm goods, baked items, and artisan products rather than leaning on a single category. Even the market’s event material highlights a range of fresh ingredients and specialty items that suggests shoppers can piece together both pantry staples and more distinctive finds.

• -Find local produce including Jerusalem artichokes, salad mix, purple daikon, pea shoots, and purple radish sprouts from Root to Rise.
• -Pick up oyster mushrooms from Graber Honey.
• -Add local herbs from the Magick garden.

The market also runs a seasonal Easter Market at Roosevelt Center from 10am to 1pm on March 28th.

Know before you go

No dogs is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading over. The market is held at Lions Park in Red Lodge, with the location identified as 8th & Villard and described as across from Beartooth IGA, which makes navigation straightforward if you are orienting by nearby landmarks rather than a street address alone. Summer market hours are limited to Saturdays from 9:00 to 12pm, so this is a short morning market rather than an all-day stop.

For producers, the market accepts vendors from within 150 miles of Red Lodge and routes inquiries through market manager Anne Guillon. Restrooms are listed as unavailable, another useful planning detail if you are arriving with kids or building the market into a longer morning in town.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Red Lodge Farmers' Market, an important option for shoppers planning to use nutrition benefits on market purchases. The market’s vendor materials also reference the Montana WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program and how to become an authorized farmer, pointing to a broader commitment to benefit-linked market access. Payment methods are presented clearly by the market, which helps reduce guesswork before you arrive.
