Caledonia Farmers Market Association - Winter

Eastern Avenue anchors the association’s warmer-weather market, but the winter season shifts indoors to the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center for first- and third-Saturday shopping from November through April. That seasonal move gives the Caledonia Farmers Market Association a year-spanning presence in St. Johnsbury, with the same organization also running the outdoor St. Johnsbury market and a separate Danville market. The winter market is the cold-season branch of a group that has been operating since 1972, which gives this small-format schedule a long institutional backbone.

Why it matters locally

Since 1972, the Caledonia Farmers' Market Association has operated as a nonprofit organization in this part of Vermont, giving the winter market a role inside a longer-running local structure rather than a standalone seasonal pop-up. Governance stays tied to vendor membership through a 4- to 7-member board of directors elected by vendors, with staggered three-year terms.

Day-to-day management is handled by co-managers Elizabeth Everts and Curtis Sjolander, and the 2019 board list also names Mary Skovsted, Melanie Miller, Ken Mundinger, Derrick Samuels, and Deb Yonker. The same association connects St. Johnsbury’s winter market to the outdoor St. Johnsbury season and the Danville Outdoor Market, linking multiple town schedules under one umbrella.

What you'll find there

Specific vendor rosters and product listings are not published here, so the clearest picture is organizational: this is a winter market run by the same association that manages St. Johnsbury and Danville market schedules. If you are deciding when to go, the strongest concrete detail is the market’s indoor winter setting at the Welcome Center rather than a street or lot setup.

• -Shop the St. Johnsbury Winter Market at the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center on the first and third Saturdays from November through April.
• -Catch the St. Johnsbury Outdoor Market on Eastern Avenue and Pearl Street in the municipal parking lot behind Anthony's Diner from May through October.
• -Find the Danville Outdoor Market on Route 2 and Park Street on the Danville Green from June through October.

The association calendar also distinguishes these three recurring market formats by town, season, and day of week.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the few explicit visitor rules published for this market and a detail that can change plans before you leave home. The winter market is held at Depot Square, with the seasonal program specifically placed at the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center. Restrooms are listed as unavailable, so plan your stop accordingly.

If you need to reach the market about attendance, questions, concerns, or complaints, Elizabeth Everts is the named contact, and the association also lists cfmamanager@gmail.com and 802-592-3088. The group’s vendor-facing materials emphasize market rules and new vendor applications, which signals a formal operating structure behind even this limited winter schedule.
