BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Farmers' Market's midweek market will be at a new location at a new time this year.
Starting May 31 and continuing through the summer until Sept. 26, the Downtown Evening Market will be held Tuesdays from 4 to 7 p.m. on Flat Street, next to the Boys & Girls Club, according to a news release.
The Downtown Evening Market will bring fresh and local food into the heart of Brattleboro at a time of day that fits well with the schedules of both consumers and farmers - when it is cooler and more pleasant to gather for a locally-made meal, grocery shopping, music, or to relax or catch up with friends at the end of the day.
All are invited to stop by. This market continues to be accessible to all incomes by offering fresh, local produce buyable with cash, credit/debit, EBT/SNAP benefits, WIC Farm to Family coupons, and CROP CASH market match coupons (where the first $10 of EBT/SNAP benefits withdrawn is matched dollar for dollar).
The market is accessible by foot, bicycle, or car and is close to parking. At least four local CSA farms will distribute their weekly farm shares at the market this year, making the Downtown Evening Market a great alternative for past Neighborhood Market participants who still want affordable groceries downtown.
Local musicians and community organizations are welcome to contact the Brattleboro Farmers' Market Manager at farmersmarket05301@yahoo.com to inquire about sharing the space with vendors.
