The Capital
City Farmers Market has been in operation, in its
present incarnation, for more than 30 years. Each
Saturday from spring through fall, more than 40 vendors
sell their goods at the market.
 |
“In order to provide a complete
marketplace for the consumer," vendors selling prepared
foods and crafts are interspersed among the farmers. |
|
Though they are not required to grow their own materials,
other vendors “are expected to utilize farm products,” the market's web site declares.
| As for the market's
farmers, according to the rules
governing the market, “All items must originate from Central
Vermont and be produced by the vendor. No items may be
bought for resale at the market.” |
