As summer approaches, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and its neighboring areas are preparing for the return of their beloved farmers markets. These markets are a staple for the community, offering a chance to support local farmers, artisans, and businesses while enjoying the bounty of the short growing season.
People’s Market at Center for the Arts
The People’s Market will kick off the season next Wednesday on the lawn at the Center for the Arts. This weekly event, running from June 3 to September 23, will feature over 30 vendors offering locally grown produce, ranch-raised meat, prepared foods, and handcrafted items. The market will also host local musician Noel Trask for its opening day.
Jackson Hole Farmers Market
Opening for its 27th season, the Jackson Hole Farmers Market will begin toward the end of June at the Jackson Town Square. This market, held every Saturday from June 20 to September 26, focuses exclusively on food and beverage vendors. A unique aspect of this market is its commitment to the community, with vendors donating 1% of their sales to a featured local nonprofit each week.
Slow Food in the Tetons Farm Stand
Slow Food in the Tetons will operate its summer Farm Stand next to Snake River Brewing. Open Thursdays and Fridays from June 25 to September 25, the stand offers a wide variety of seasonal produce sourced locally and from surrounding states. Early arrivals will find the best selection, but the staff ensures the stand remains well-stocked throughout the market hours.
Teton Valley Farmers Market
