GREENFIELD — The annual winter Farmers Market will soon be underway, thanks in part to a new partnership with the Greenfield Public Library.

“Having it at the library is a huge deal because the library is going to be open while the farmers market is open,” said Farmers Market Manager Hannah Logan. “The farmers market is going to have food and shopping and music and coffee, and the library is going to be open so there’s going to be kids’ activities and family activities. Previously, when the farmers market was at a different location, it was just people who were going there specifically to buy local goods.”

Previously, the market had been held at local public schools and most recently at the Second Congregational Church.

Kicking off on Nov. 18, the market will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 9, Jan. 20, Feb. 17 and March 16. Logan said the market will primarily be based in the two large meeting rooms near the front entrance to the library with some elements of it, including live acoustic music, spilling into the cafe area located to the left of the front entrance.

“It’s going to be a destination,” Logan said. “It’s going to be somewhere to hang out and share space with the community.”

There will be many familiar vendors and a few new ones this year, according to Logan. Some vendors that are scheduled to be part of the rotation include Just Roots, Hart Farm, Coyote Hill Farm, Supreme Micro Greens, Livingstone Mycology, Hearthstone Bakery and Barberic Farm.

“There’s a good variety, definitely a lot of fresh stuff that will be coming and also baked goods, meat, eggs and prepared foods, jams — a little bit of everything,” she said. “There’s going to be a rotating selection of craft vendors concentrated in November, December.”

Logan said she hopes that after years of the winter market bouncing from place to place, it will have a new home at the library.

“We talked about it [in terms of] seeing how this year goes and checking in to see if it’s something sustainable to keep doing,” she said. “Now that it’s there, why not?”

She emphasized that the market accepts Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) benefits.

“The library is such a community hub and so is the farmers market, and to be able to collaborate ... to have both in the same space is just so nice for people, especially in the winter,” Logan said. “It’s a great gathering space and I hope people feel the same way.”
