Waitsfield Farmer’s Market
We’re a unique collective of Vermont farmers, makers, bakers, and shakers in the heart of the Mad River Valley.
Established in 1993, the Waitsfield Farmer’s Market has been a meeting place for those who appreciate Vermont farmers and artisans for decades. Our market vendors are a carefully curated group of local Vermont businesses that provide the highest quality products to the market. Every Saturday, rain or shine, mid-May to mid-October, you’ll find us on the Mad River Green!
Local produce, plant starts, maple, honey, flowers, seedlings, eggs, meats, cheeses, fish, crafts, art, clothes, bread, baked goods, coffee, spirits, cider, mead and prepared foods all by Vermonters. Every Saturday there is live entertainment. Visitors are welcome to bring their pets on leash.
Our market is proud to offer many food benefit options for our community, learn more about them below!
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities. In fact, SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with key stakeholders in every state to ensure that those eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits.
Farm to Family
Farm to Family is a program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These coupons are in denominations of $6.00 and helps individuals buy fresh fruits and vegetables, locally grown from Vermont farms and at Farmers Markets.

Crop Cash
Crop Cash is a double-value coupon program that promotes the purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs at farmers markets that accept 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits. In essence, Crop Cash is an incentive dollar that is earned for 3SquaresVT/SNAP purchases for use on the future purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and starts at the market. Coupons are marked specifically to each Market and available year round. NOFA-VT manages this program.
