Caledonia Farmers Market Association - Winter

Caledonia Farmers' Market Association - Winter is part of the Caledonia Farmers' Market Association, the nonprofit organization behind the St. Johnsbury and Danville market operations. In St. Johnsbury, the association’s winter market runs at Depot Square from November through April, giving the market a distinct cold-season role in the local calendar. The organization has been in existence since 1972, which places this winter market inside a long-running market structure rather than a one-off seasonal pop-up. That continuity shows up in how the association presents its markets together, with separate St. Johnsbury outdoor and winter markets alongside the Danville outdoor market.

Why it matters locally

Since 1972, the Caledonia Farmers' Market Association has operated as a nonprofit with a vendor-elected board of directors, tying the market’s governance directly to the people who sell through it. The board structure is specific and active, with officers including President Elizabeth Everts, Vice President Mary Skovsted, Secretary Melanie Miller, and Treasurer Curtis Sjolander, alongside Ken Mundinger, Derrick Samuels, and Deb Yonker.

That long-running association does more than host a single market day. It organizes the St. Johnsbury Outdoor Market, the St. Johnsbury Winter Market, and the Danville Outdoor Market, creating a connected market network across seasons and locations in Caledonia County. The winter market matters locally because it is one piece of a durable, member-governed organization with named leadership, formal bylaws and market rules, and an application process for new vendors.

What you'll find there

The association emphasizes market structure more than product-by-product promotion, so what stands out here is the organization behind the stalls rather than a published roster of winter vendors. For this market, the clearest on-site picture comes from the association’s vendor framework and the linked market system it maintains in St. Johnsbury and Danville.
