The Center for an Agricultural Economy and Hardwick Farmers Market are in a collaborative partnership that benefits both organizations’ missions to support local farmers, food producers, and community. CAE provides space at Atkins Field and pays the market manager. The market provides a vibrant, welcoming, free weekly gathering with live music that celebrates agriculture in the Northeast Kingdom. Customers connect directly with farmers and vendors every week from Memorial Day weekend in May to October Indigenous Peoples Day in October.
