Every year, the Shelburne Falls Farmers Market hosts a special Autumn Market event. Again this year, the Market will be held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This year, we will be back inside at our usual spot: Buckland Shelburne Elementary School (75 Mechanic Street, Shelburne Falls). The Autumn Market will be on Sunday, November 23rd 2025 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The 15th Annual Shelburne Falls Autumn Farmers Market will feature items from local farms, eateries, artisans, and churches. Items offered for sale will include: fresh produce, local frozen meats, fresh baked items, jams, jellies, marmalade, pickles, wool products, plants, bodywork, maple products, local crafts, and a tea cup auction of local products. There will also be live music all afternoon:
• KEVIN JONES (11:00 -12:30)
Kevin’s performances are mainstream jazz-standards, swing, blues, Latin, etc. For photos and a number of sample tunes, go to:

• TIM VAN EGMOND AND FRIENDS (12:30 – 2:00)
Folksinger and storyteller Tim Van Egmond weaves together songs, tunes, and tales – moving easily from a rousing singalong or a toe-tapping tune to a gripping story. He accompanies himself on a wide variety of traditional instruments, including hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, mouth bow, and limberjack (a dancing wooden puppet that taps out a rhythm on a paddle board). His spellbinding talent, dynamic style, and engaging warmth create a magical experience for all ages.
