Great Falls Farmers Market

Aug 1st, 2026
9:00am - 1:00pm
Where
Avenue ATurners Falls MA01376

The Great Falls Farmers Market returns to Peskeompskut Park for our 30th season on Saturday, May 2nd. The market will be held in downtown Turners Falls every Saturday from May 2nd through October 31st, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ​This year, you will find local produce (including veggie starts this spring), eggs, beef, pork, chicken, maple syrup, herbal products, and artisanal goods at the market.

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!

We will be hosting special guests and having event days throughout the season. Keep your eyes 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.
