After many years, our baker has retired, and we are looking for someone new!

We are looking for a high-quality baker that can be reliable and consistently produce the quality and quantity required for our market.

The new baker could be a professional or home baker if they are prepared to produce the quality and quantity required, carry liability insurance, and be fully licensed by the State of Vermont.

The previous baker routinely made $500-$700 (and more) in sales during the market (3:00 – 6:30 PM on Thursdays). The 2024 market will start on June 6 and end on October 10 (no market on July 4).

We are open to the products that would be offered. In past years offerings included: bread loaves, croissants, pretzels, cinnamon bus, granola and other baked treats.
