New England Farmers Markets 2026
From winter markets tucked inside brewery taprooms to summer squares packed with growers, New England's farmers markets run nearly year-round in 2026. This guide pulls together the markets we track across the region — where they are, when they run, and a direct link to each one so you can plan your Saturday (or Sunday, or Tuesday) around fresh produce, baked goods, and local makers.
We track farmers markets most deeply in Vermont and Maine, where organized market series run week after week from midwinter through late fall. Coverage in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island is growing — check the state links below for what we have so far, and check back as we add more.
Vermont: markets nearly every week, all year
Vermont's market scene barely pauses for winter. Four established series carry the state through 2026:
- Brattleboro Area Farmers Market — winter markets run indoors at the Winston Prouty Center in Brattleboro, moving outdoors to the Brattleboro Area Farmers Market Grounds for the summer season starting in May. Run by the Brattleboro Area Farmers' Market.
- Vermont Farmers Market in Rutland — Saturdays at the Vermont Farmers Food Center, with the Rutland Downtown Summer market at Depot Park kicking off in May.
- Capital City Farmers Market in Montpelier — winter Saturdays at Alumni Hall, then outdoors at the Montpelier State Street market grounds beginning in May.
- Burlington Farmers Market — winter markets at Burlington Beer Company, with the summer season at the Pine Street market grounds from May.
For the full rundown — every venue, every season — see our Vermont Farmers Markets 2026 guide.
Maine: from Bangor to the coast
Maine's markets stretch from inland mill towns to working harbors. Highlights we track for 2026:
- Bangor Farmers Market — Sunday markets, winter dates at Sea Dog Brewing Co. and the summer season at Abbot Square running into late October. Run by the Bangor Farmers' Market.
- Bath Farmers Market — Waterfront Park, spring through the end of October.
- Belfast Farmers Market at Waterfall Arts, and the Rockland Farmers Market at Harbor Park on the midcoast.

A few planning notes
Market hours and vendor lineups change week to week, and many markets move venues between their winter and summer seasons. We list dates and locations for every market we track, but for the current week's hours, check the official market site linked on each event page. Most markets are free to attend; a few are noted as free on their listing.
