To strengthen our community by creating a vibrant marketplace where local farmers, food producers, artists and educators can directly market their goods and services to the public, thereby promoting local business, healthy eating, and social gathering.

OUR HISTORY

Josh Webb, market manager for 2021.  “I see the farmers’ market as a special place that offers a sense of community engagement for vendors, buyers, and volunteers.  I am thrilled to have this opportunity to be part of something meaningful.”

Josh Webb, Market Manager for 2021

It has been such a pleasure (albiet quite the challenge) to work as manager of the Sheffield Farmers Market this season. I am grateful for all the support and for amazing vendors and customers. The committee is an amazing group of folks who are passionate about keeping this market vibrant. I will be moving on to more farming work next year and will not have the pleasure of continuing in this position at the market but know that there will be an amazing person to take on the role! Stay tuned and stay well!

Alyssa VanDurme
2023-2024 Winter Market Manager

It has been exciting to take on this role and support our local agriculture community! It is a lovely group of vendors, committee members and shoppers. I intend to stay very involved in the Sheffield Farmers Markets, however, my other jobs managing the Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market and working on farms keeps me very busy during the summer months. I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to helping support the next Market Manager!
