Middlebury Farmers' Market

At 73 Maple Street, the Middlebury Farmers' Market runs as a year-round market with more than 50 registered members, shifting from an outdoor season in warmer months to an indoor market from November through April. The mix leans heavily agricultural: nearly two-thirds of vendors sell local farm products, and the market's own description calls out vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers, CBD, meats, eggs, and goat's and cow's milk cheeses. That combination gives this market a broad farm-first profile, with enough prepared food and artisan sellers to widen the visit beyond produce alone.

What you'll find there

Nearly two-thirds of the vendors focus on local agricultural products, so the core of the market is farm goods rather than a craft-heavy mix. Around that, the lineup stretches into prepared foods, starts, household goods, and a few beverage and textile makers that give the market more range without changing its farm emphasis.

• -Browse Brown's Orchard and Farmstand for fresh local produce, handmade decorations, artisan spreads, and homemade baked goods.
• -Pick up naturally grown vegetables, greens, and roots from Foggy Meadow Produce.
• -Find cultivated mushrooms from Champlain Valley Mushrooms.
• -Look for Green & Gold CSA, a small woman-run farm located thirty minutes south of Middlebury.
• -Shop Red Hen Gardens for vegetable starts from its micro-farm operation in Williston.
• -Explore Green Acres Homestead's offerings from a sustainable permaculture model, along with its classes and tours.
• -Order farm-to-table catering from Breadloaf Kitchen.
• -Eat prepared foods from Frog Hollow Farmstead, whose chefs cook with ingredients from their farm, other local farms, and small-batch artisan makers.
• -Choose quilted items, wall art, table runners, tote bags, and pot holders from Jeri Canfield.
• -Stock up on handmade goat milk soap from Orange Cat Soapworks.
• -Sample spirits from Killington Distillery, a small-batch craft distillery with a cocktail bar. One clear thread here is how the market connects shopping with a wider farm visit mindset. Green Acres Homestead doesn't just sell products; it also offers classes and tours tied to its sustainable permaculture model. Breadloaf Kitchen frames its work around farm-to-table catering rather than a single staple item, while Frog Hollow Farmstead emphasizes chefs cooking with ingredients from its own farm, other local farms, and small-batch artisan makers. Even within the market's broader description, the emphasis lands on agricultural variety — vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers, meats, eggs, cheeses, and CBD — which keeps the experience rooted in working farms and what they produce. The result is a market where shopping can also introduce visitors to how area farms grow, cook, and present their goods.

Know before you go

The biggest planning detail is the market's seasonal setup: it normally operates indoors from November through April and moves outdoors from May through October. The market is associated with the VFW at 530 Exchange Street, with the parking lot used in summer and the market inside in winter. If you're bringing a pet, note that dogs are not allowed. The market is a sizable one by local standards, with over 50 registered members, so the vendor mix can cover a lot of ground in one stop.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Middlebury Farmers' Market. The market also presents clear payment information for visitors, which helps if you're planning purchases across produce, prepared foods, soap, textiles, and spirits.
