The Westford Farmers’ Market
opens it’s 2010 season on June 11, 2010
on the Westford Common

Nowhere is the tradition of small, local Farmers’ Markets more prominent than here in
Vermont. And Westford is one of those quintessential Vermont towns that seem to be just
made for a Farmers’ Market: A small town center with a Common, a Gazebo, lots of green
space, a picnic area invite locals and visitors from as far as Canada and Europe to visit the
market. All of this and the friendly atmosphere make the Westford Farmers’ Market one of
the most recognized small Farmers’ Markets in Vermont. The market is held every Friday
from 3:30 - 6:30 PM, rain or shine and has a base of 20 vendors that set up regularly on the
common. The market motto is: You sell only what you make or grow yourself and the
vendors sell a wide variety of goods and artisan products: fresh produce, farm goods,
prepared food like European specialties, Hamburger and Asian food, high quality bakery
items (cookies, pies, artisan bread), meats, coffee, fudge, seasonal products like berries and
corn, honey, maple syrup, wine, woodcraft and much much more.
The market has live music almost every Friday, which is very popular with visitors. Many
take advantage of the inviting atmosphere to eat right at the market and listen to the music.
Also, and they are many activities scheduled throughout the season, e.g. kids days.
The Westford Farmers’ Market is a great example of a community market that provides a
place for consumers to shop locally, and it helps small growers and producers to offer their
products without going through big suppliers and retail shops. But is is also a place where
the community comes together to socialize, and as such it is valued very much in the whole
area.
As market manager Heike Meyer brings it together: “ We are committed to bring fresh, local
food and locally made products from Vermont directly to the community. We also want to
keep local food affordable, encourage organic and sustainable farming practices, and
provide a place for the community to get together and socialize. We are lucky to have such
a place and look forward to the new season!” The Farmers’ Market opens on June 11 at
3:30 pm with live music.
