The Great Falls Farmers Market returns for another fruitful (and vegful!) season on Saturday, May 3rd. The market will be open every Saturday from May through October from 9-1pm at Peskeompskut Park in downtown Turners Falls.
To ensure our community gets the most out of our market, the market itself is a SNAP and Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) vendor. This means every eligible item at our market can be purchased with SNAP and HIP!
During the season, we’ll be hosting various programming and event days. Keep your eyes peeled on our Facebook and Instagram (@greatfallsfarmersmarkettf) for updates during the season.
Applications to vend at the market are open all season, and we encourage anyone interested in vending to get in touch, whether it be for food, crafts, tag sale tables, or programming. We allow local community groups and young farmers/artists to vend for free. You can reach the market manager via email at greatfallsfarmersmarketturners@gmail.com or on social media.
