Shelburne is a town built for wandering. Village bookshops and bakeries within steps of the Parade Grounds. Farm stands and sugarhouses a short drive down the road. These pages help you plan what comes before and after the market.
Explore the village
Bookshops, bakeries, galleries, and a 45-acre museum — all within walking distance of the Parade Grounds. Grab breakfast before the market opens, browse the bookstore afterward, or spend the whole day and visit a museum.
Take a walk through the historic village
Forty-seven stops in about a mile, drawn from the walking tour the Shelburne 250 Committee created in 2013 — a 1796 inn, a stone church with Tiffany windows, a creamery, and a Texaco station drawn by the designer of the Brownie camera. Stop 40 is the Parade Ground itself, where the tents go up every Saturday.
Take the Shelburne Area Farm Store Tour
Eighteen farm stands, stores, sugarhouses and pick-your-own fields within ten miles of the Parade Grounds — near enough to fold into an ordinary afternoon. You met them Saturday; now go see where it grows.
Farm Store Directory
Every farm store we know of within reach of the market — twenty-seven places to buy direct, from a honor-system cheese fridge near the Canadian border to an island taproom. The tour is the close-in eighteen; this is all of them.
Shelburne Lights: the village after dark
November 27 to January 9: Winter Lights at the Museum, four free Village Nights with fire circles, carolers and Santa, and the shops open late. The market’s off-season has a season of its own — everyone’s invited.
Meet our vendors
Almost 150 farms, makers, and community organizations make up the 2026 market. The directory goes beyond the booth — find out who's here this week, what they grow or make, and how to stay connected with the people behind what you're buying.
