Burlington Farmers Market

Bringing the best of Vermont to the Queen City since 1980, the Burlington Farmers Market occupies the South End at 345 Pine Street. Farmers, specialty food producers, and artisan crafts share the space, and the market has run from late spring through autumn as both a neighborhood gathering and a stop for visitors. Shoppers have come away with jams, carrots, cheeses, turned walnut rolling pins, butter beer, craft beer, cider, iced coffee, and pastries. It goes on rain or shine. Go early if breakfast pastries and coffee are the plan, then circle back for produce and crafts.

Our take: Go early for iced coffee and pastries, then shop the produce, cheese, and crafts.
