The farmers market host a wide array of varied vendors. It' s a great place to start out in the morning with homemade donuts and coffee from Ralph as your come in .You can sip your coffee as you stroll about the market checking out the various vendors, before making your purchases,You will find fresh local vegetables, fruits and herbs... even eggs and local cheeses as well as locally grown garlic from Linda. You can pick out fresh flowers individually for your bouquet to take home. There are potters of all kinds, with pottery for both your daily use or gifts. Herb remedies, massages being given, home made soap and more. You will often find seedlings and potted perennials for sale,depending on the time of the year. You name it they have it ! The other draw is that the vendors are overall friendly and relaxed lending a nice air to the market. .Late in the morning, near lunch time.... if you stay that long there is local music adding to the festivities of lunch. Lunch is a wonderful variety of many cruisines. My favorite is Shrii's Kitchen, she had the most wonderful Indian food. Anon's Thai food is very good too.One of the things I like the most is that each week to some small degree vendors and their wares may change, There are the ones you see every week, but now and then a new one pops up just often enough to add a smidgen of change.I like to go early in the morning best without the crowds, however lunch time is a treat too. I admittedly try to avoid it during busy tourist weekends ....when it is a little more difficult to more around freely.The farmers market is definately worth a visit.
Indoor, outdoor, rain or shine, the Farmer's Market is the social hub of this little town and a great place to people watch. ALSO great lunch foods from vendors hailing from Asia and Africa (and locally) offering unique and familiar foods for all palates. ALSO, a dizzying array of locally grown and produced fruits, vegetables, baked goods, crafts, and more.
This small but varied market is a delightful place to go. There is an abundance of beautiful fresh produce at extremely reasonable prices. There are also local artisan foods (cheeses, apple vinegars and ciders, wine, etc.) and local ae,rtisan crafts (woodworking, ceramics, woolens, creams and salves, etc.). There are also foods to enjoy, either to eat there or take home (Indian, African, etc.). And it is just fun to people watch: "hippies", yuppies, etc. Fun outing.
On Saturdays from May to October this is the place to be for ready to eat food from Africa, India, and Vermont plus fresh and local vegetables, flowers, meats and baked goods. There is usually music and always a friendly, active crowd including a bustling group of younger children in the sand box. It is lively and fun--an instant neighborhood for all visitors.
It's a nice variety of local vendors of vegetables, meats, dairy, grains, fruits, baked goods, maple syrup, etc. plus some food stalls serving a variety of foods for lunch or dessert. There's also chair massage, wine, ice cream, some furniture, and music. It can be great if you're shopping for something fresh and local or if you just want to spend some time with other Vermonters young and old for an hour or two. Obviously, the selection of products varies with the season. It goes from some time in April to the end of October. It's a very pleasant atmosphere and parking, although busy, always seems to be available. Remember your bug spray and sun hat.
Wonderful sampling of local food and artisans. I would definitely return! Nice to walk around in the fresh air and sample local cheeses and wines!
Don't miss it. It has everything. Live music. Local foods. Ethnic specialities. Massage. Pottery. People. Vibe. Goodness all around.
This is a great farmers' market: many vendors, great local produce & foods; music. Creative & adventuresome vegies & items to buy. Good location, decent parking.
This is one of the best farmers markets that I've ever been to.There's a good selection of ethnic food (don't miss Anon's Thai food)and local foods too. (try Riganis' wood fired pizza) There are plenty of plants, vegetables and crafts to purchase as well. Every week there's local musicand a fun place for the kids to play. Before you leave, get a chairmassage from Ron Minnes - ahhh...
Brattleboro's Farmer's Market is a small, quaint definitely worth the visit! Tasty, locally sourced food from cuisines all over the world. The people are very friendly and happy to share their produce stories from visitors from afar! Special shout out for the Ginger Lemonade, delicious strawberries and home-made gelato! Lovely way to spend a Saturday morning, sitting under the tree by riverside listening to the local musicians! Idyllic!!
