Winter Farmers’ Market returns home in Nov.

Dear Editor,

I am delighted to share some wonderful news with the Rutland community. The Winter Farmers’ Market is officially returning to Farmers’ Hall at the Vermont Farmers’ Food Center, starting Nov. 2! 

Once the Summer Farmers’ Market at Depot Park wraps up at the end of October, we are excited to invite everyone to join us Saturdays starting Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. indoors at 251 West St. in Rutland, for a vibrant and bustling Winter Farmers’ Market.

Additionally, our holiday craft shows will also be held at the VFFC, on the second Sundays of November and December. 

After an extensive cleanup process to address concerns about trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination, Farmers’ Hall is now safe and ready to welcome back shoppers and vendors. 

This reopening is more than just a return to familiar surroundings; it’s a chance for our community to come together, support local vendors, and enjoy the best of seasonal produce and goods. Whether you’re looking for fresh vegetables, unique gifts, or simply a chance to catch up with neighbors, the Vermont Farmers’ Market has something for everyone.

We can’t wait to see you there! For more details visit VTFarmersMarket.org.

Paul Horton, president of the Vermont Farmers’ Market
