for help in ensuring that this market becomes a vital and lasting
part of downtown Bennington. You can help support the market in

We have an exciting vision for the market: to provide fresh,
locally-grown produce and prepared foods to the community; to
support farmers, gardeners and food-related small businesses
by offering an attractive, convenient market for the sale of
their products; and to contribute to the vitality of downtown
Bennington by creating an event that attracts both residents
and tourists with an array of tempting foods, carefully-selected
crafts, music, special events and a festival atmosphere, each
Saturday during the market season.
