There’s plenty to see and do with the whole family, plus lots of yummy items to try out or pick up for dinner. The market also offers a great opportunity to practice math skills. Just start asking your kids to add up the bill for you, or do some price comparisons between vendors! And as if that wasn’t enough to lure you out of the house, this summer the market will include live entertainment and special event days too! Here’s the tentative line up for the summer:

The Middlebury Farmer’s Market also participates in the Vermont Farm to Family Program. The Farm to Family Program gives WIC participants coupons for free, locally grown, fresh vegetables and fruits from farmers’ markets. WIC participants over the age of 6 months are eligible for Farm to Family coupons which are available on a first come, first serve basis. Coupon books will be available at the Middlebury Farmer’s Market on the following days: Saturday, June 29, Wednesday, July 29, and Wednesday, August 14. For more details click here.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
