About the Market
Background
The Sustainable Nantucket Farmers & Artisans Market has been a staple of the community, running from June to October and featuring nearly 50 vendors. It offers a variety of locally grown produce and handmade crafts.
Practices
Vendors at the market grow their produce locally on Nantucket, ensuring fresh and seasonal availability. The market emphasizes direct sales from local growers to residents, fostering a closer connection between consumers and the source of their food.
The Rest
The market also includes baked goods, popsicles, hot food, jams, jellies, fruit, honey, and eggs when available. Handcrafted items such as ceramics, jewelry, textiles, paintings, woodworking, and leathercraft are also featured. The Entertainment Tent hosts local musicians and educational demonstrations from island chefs. Additionally, the Mid-Island Market operates on Tuesday afternoons, providing another opportunity for residents to purchase local produce.
