Great Barrington Farmers Market Linda R. Campos photography
About Stories Events A ctors have been known to drop by and break into spontaneous performances here. Songwriters and storytellers perform for families who stroll and taste and talk with the people who grow the food and make it, and sometimes both.
This summer the market is adapting to Covid-19, but it is still running outdoors, just off Main Street on Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from May to October, with fruits and greens, herbs and oils, locally roasted coffee and brewed cider — with safeguards.
Local farmers bring newly laid eggs, blue cheese and aged cheddar. An artisanal charcuterie offers hand-crafted sausages. Hosta Hill sources local ingredients for crimson sauerkraut, and the Happy Belly brightenes chocolate almond tarts with edible flowers and infuses gluten free breads with herbs from their own garden.
Local farmers also bring cut flowers for bouquets and young plants early in summer for gardens and windowsills, and the fruits and vegetables and prepared foods change with the seasons.

Windy Hill Orchard grows rows of winterberry bushes every year. You can walk into a sea of scarlet higher than your head, and they’re bright even on cold, cloudy afternoons.

Walking across the grass, I looked for old friends gathering around the barn. They had a fire going in the fire pit and a pot of cider stat on the stones to keep hot.
