Farmers' market in Stowe, Vermont.

It’s veggie time in the mountains of Vermont! Vermont's ski towns are among those that have weekly farmers' markets when the snow is not flying.

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture produces a handy <link http: www.vermontagriculture.com buylocal buy farmersmarkets_map.html external-link-new-window market>website that has a statewide schedule of many farmers’ markets. The list includes these markets which I selected because they are located somewhere near a Vermont ski resort or ski town that you may be visiting during the summer months:

Be sure to bring your appetite, as most of the markets include wonderful breakfast and lunch treats (and dessert!)! The garden that the Skimeister and I grow provides most of our summer veggies, but we go to the farmers' markets anyways for a snack and to pick up veggies that aren't currently ripe in our own garden.
