The resolution congratulates the Brattleboro Area Farmers Market on its 50th anniversary, recognizing its significant role in promoting local agriculture and community spirit since its establishment in 1975. The market serves as a venue for local producers to sell their goods and artisans to showcase their creations, embodying the "buy local" ethos. It has grown over the years, expanding its number of vendors and activities, and has become a beloved weekly event in the community, taking place every Saturday from May to October.
On May 17, 2025, the Brattleboro Area Farmers Market will hold a commemorative ceremony to celebrate this milestone, highlighting its contributions to the local economy and community engagement. The resolution expresses the General Assembly's congratulations and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the market, acknowledging its importance in fostering connections among residents and supporting local talent.
