Canton Farmers Market

Canton Farmers Market centers its work on a clear mission: supporting local farmers and food producers, fostering meaningful connections, and promoting education and access to fresh, healthy food for all in a welcoming gathering space. That mission plays out in a Sunday market with farm vendors, prepared-food makers, bakers, and food-access programming gathered in Canton from June through October. With SNAP/EBT accepted and a seasonal match program in place, the market puts food access alongside shopping rather than treating it as a separate effort.

Why it matters locally

The market’s stated mission ties together support for local farmers and food producers with education, connection, and access to fresh, healthy food for all. That combination gives Canton Farmers Market a broader role than a produce stop alone: it is organized as a welcoming gathering space where buying food, meeting producers, and using assistance programs all sit within the same weekly setting.

Its food-access work is also specific, not abstract. The market accepts SNAP/EBT, offers a SNAP Match Program from June 15 through October 19 with up to $15 per day per card user while funding lasts, and notes that select vendors accept HIP. The market also lists collaboration with Canton Helpline, a nonprofit that confidentially assists thousands of residents annually, underscoring that access is part of the market’s local framework.

What you'll find there

The vendor roster runs from farms and meat producers to seafood, dumplings, empanadas, gluten-free baking, sauces, pickles, tea, and drink mixers, giving this market a notably broad prepared-food and pantry lineup alongside farm staples. The result is a market where a weekly shop can lean fresh, ready-to-eat, or somewhere in between.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change a visit plan for anyone used to bringing a pet along. The market is held on the front lawn of the Rodman Center/High School at Main & Court, giving you a specific outdoor destination rather than a parking-lot setup. It runs only on Sundays from 10 AM to 2 PM during the June-to-October season, so this is a once-a-week window. Market management is shared by co-managers Anna Schindelar Gaggiano and Anne Grady, with Emily Besen handling operations coordination and Susan DeLuca listed for volunteer coordination.
