Vermont Farmers Markets 2026
Vermont takes its farmers markets seriously enough to run them through the snow. While most of the country waits for spring, four of the state's established market series keep going indoors all winter — then move outdoors for the summer. Here's where to find fresh food, maple, and local makers across Vermont in 2026.
Brattleboro Area Farmers Market
The Brattleboro Area Farmers Market, run by the Brattleboro Area Farmers' Market, splits its year between two homes. Through the winter and early spring, Saturday markets run indoors at the Winston Prouty Center in Brattleboro. When the weather turns, the market moves outdoors to the Brattleboro Area Farmers Market Grounds for the summer season, beginning in early May and running through the fall.
Vermont Farmers Market (Rutland)
In Rutland, the Vermont Farmers Market anchors the year at the Vermont Farmers Food Center, with Saturday markets carrying through the colder months — including a mid-winter market and a run of first-through-fourth Saturday dates. Come May, the Rutland Downtown Summer Farmers Market opens outdoors at Depot Park, one of the liveliest summer markets in central Vermont.
Capital City Farmers Market (Montpelier)
The Capital City Farmers Market serves the state capital. Winter Saturday markets run indoors at Alumni Hall in Montpelier; the outdoor summer season opens on the Montpelier State Street market grounds in early May.
Burlington Farmers Market
Vermont's largest city hosts the Burlington Farmers Market. Through the winter, markets are held at Burlington Beer Company; the outdoor summer season sets up at the Pine Street market grounds beginning in May.
Planning your visit
Each of these markets shifts venue between its winter and summer seasons, and lineups change week to week with what's in season — early spring brings maple and overwintered greens, high summer brings berries and sweet corn, and fall brings apples, squash, and the last of the harvest. We list each market's dates and locations on its event page; for the current week's hours, check the official market site linked there.
Making a day of it? Pair a market visit with the season's fairs — Vermont's agricultural fairs and craft fairs run all summer and fall.
