Waitsfield Farmers Market

Established in 1993, the Waitsfield Farmers Market gathers a curated collective of Vermont farmers, makers, bakers and shakers on the Mad River Green, right on scenic Route 100 in the heart of the Mad River Valley. Everything is made by Vermonters: produce, plant starts, maple, honey, flowers, eggs, meats, cheeses, fish, breads and baked goods, coffee, spirits, cider, mead and prepared foods, plus crafts, art and clothing. Local entertainment plays on market days, and the market runs rain or shine on vendor fees, volunteers and donations.

Our take: Make it part of a fall drive along Route 100 through the Mad River Valley; the market sits right beside the road at the Mad River Green.
