Farmers market schedule for Vermont ski towns

Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 10:04 AM

It's that time of year again: farmers markets are opening in Vermont.

I know the downtown Burlington, Vt., farmers market has already opened. It was packed last Saturday! And I heard that Stowe's market has started and this Saturday the Waitsfield market begins.

I like getting some of my organic garden veggie starters at the farmers markets. Last weekend I picked up some super delicious spinach, and of course if they have some baked goods I must try that as well! Later in the season I'll have a wide variety of vegetables to choose from.

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture produces a handy Web site that has a statewide schedule of many farmers' markets, including:
