OUR MISSION
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
The cultural and historical tradition of farmers’ markets in Sheffield, Massachusetts dates back to the 18th century. Founded in 2000, the Market operates on Friday afternoons at the Old Parish Church, running from May through October. The hours are 3:00 - 6:00 pm, rain or shine.
OUR STEERING COMMITTEE
We are a group of committed and fun-loving community members who want to see the market thrive.
