Easthampton Farmers & Makers Market

On such a dreary day, it’s hard to imagine that we’re already planning our 2019 market season. Spring is right around the corner…Almost! We are currently looking to add farmers of all kinds, bakers, up-and-coming micro businesses, and prepared food vendors to join the already stellar line up of folks returning from last year. Are you a maker or producer? A market gardener or budding farmer?  We’d love to have you! We’re a growing market, nearly doubling in size in the past year. The season runs on Saturdays from 9 am – 1 pm from May 25th to October 5th, and there are a variety of ways to participate. Our updated application and guidelines are live on the website!

Oh, how time flies! The final market of the season is upon us. Make sure to stop by for the last of the amazing harvests that have sustained us this year. If you haven’t joined our mailing list, visit the manager’s tent! You can also enjoy a cup of Shelburne Falls coffee, and get SNAP coins there. Help our market continue to grow! We welcomes questions, comments, ideas, and inquiries regarding the 2019 season. See you there!
