Vendor Events in Richmond, VT

20 spots open

Every Friday afternoon from May through October, Richmond, VT becomes a gathering place for local food producers, craft makers, and community members at Volunteers Green. This weekly farmers market runs from 3 to 6:30pm, making it accessible for people stopping by after work or school. The timing positions it perfectly for vendors who want to reach shoppers looking to plan their weekend meals or pick up fresh ingredients for dinner prep. The market brings together six local farmers who bring seasonal produce, dairy, and other agricultural products that reflect what's growing in Vermont during each week of the season. Alongside the produce vendors, four hot food vendors set up to serve ready-to-eat meals and prepared items, creating a social atmosphere where visitors often linger and eat while shopping. Two dedicated flower farms contribute fresh blooms and arrangements, adding color and seasonal variety to the market. Beyond these primary vendors, craft producers round out the offerings, giving shoppers access to handmade goods like baked items, jams, soaps, and other artisanal products made by local makers. For shoppers with SNAP or EBT benefits, the market actively participates in programs like Farm to Family and Crop Cash, meaning their benefits stretch further on local food purchases. The market also accepts standard payment methods including debit and credit cards, plus cash, making it convenient for all customers. This accessibility focus reflects a commitment to serving the full Richmond community, not just those paying in cash. The Friday afternoon slot during the warmer growing months of May through October means vendors can rely on consistent foot traffic from both regular shoppers who make this a weekly routine and new visitors discovering seasonal offerings. For vendors, this regular weekly market offers reliable access to a community-oriented crowd in a central Vermont location.
