Caledonia Farmers Market Association - Danville

Caledonia Farmers Market Association - Danville is part of a market organization that runs both the Danville Outdoor Market and the St. Johnsbury Outdoor Market, with its public-facing home on Google Sites. In Danville, the association’s Wednesday market gives this branch a distinct place within a larger Caledonia schedule that also includes a winter market in St. Johnsbury. The association has been operating since 1972, which gives the Danville market a long institutional backbone rather than a one-season startup. That continuity shows up in a formal board structure and day-to-day management by co-managers, tying Danville to an established nonprofit organization rather than a loose pop-up series.

Why it matters locally

Since 1972, the Caledonia Farmers' Market Association has organized market activity in both Danville and St. Johnsbury under a nonprofit structure governed by a vendor-elected board of directors. That setup matters in practical terms: vendors are not just participants, but the membership that elects directors serving staggered three-year terms. The current board includes Elizabeth Everts, Mary Skovsted, Melanie Miller, Curtis Sjolander, Ken Mundinger, Derrick Samuels, and Deb Yonker.

For Danville, that means the Wednesday outdoor market is connected to an organization with defined rules, bylaws, and a new vendor application process rather than an informal selling space. The association also maintains multiple market formats across the year, including the Danville Outdoor Market, the St. Johnsbury Outdoor Market, and the St. Johnsbury Winter Market.

What you'll find there

This market is defined more clearly by its organization and vendor process than by a published product roster. What stands out here is the association’s emphasis on rules, bylaws, applications, and vendor membership across its Danville and St. Johnsbury markets.
