Brattleboro Winter Farmers’ Market 2025–2026 Season
The Brattleboro Winter Farmers’ Market returns for its 20th season starting Saturday, November 1st, 2025, at the Winston Prouty Campus. Open every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM through March, the market transforms the Croker Hall gymnasium into a vibrant indoor hub of local produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and artisan crafts. Visitors can expect a cozy community atmosphere and farm-fresh greens—even in the middle of winter.
SNAP/EBT shoppers are welcome, and thanks to NOFA-VT, shoppers can match up to $20 weekly with Crop Cash and Crop Cash Plus through December. The Winter Market is more than a place to buy food—it's a gathering space where local farms meet neighbors, music fills the room, and Vermont’s agricultural roots shine.
Sponsored by Post Oil Solutions, the Brattleboro Winter Farmers’ Market plays a key role in sustaining a healthy local food economy and nourishing the community in more ways than one.
