Local creative people who make art or crafts.
At the market, we offer a showcase to local craftspeople and artist in our community during our market season. Photography, tiles, clothing, accessories, ceramics, collages, prints, painting and more. All are members of WAN (Winchester Artist Network).
The Kids Table is where nature, creativity and fun meet.
Using seasonal produce and fruits, young folks explore their creativity and learn a little about nature and the food it provides through a generous grant from the En Ka Society. If other groups would like to participate in this program, we would love to hear from you.
The Community Group table at the market.
We like to promote our local organizations, their mission, and what they are doing in our area. Whether planting, getting out the vote, giving money to our schools, helping our hospitals and more. Here you can meet and find out how you can volunteer or participate in upcoming events.

Student Clubs and Internships
It’s great to have all generations participate in our market.
The Winchester High School Farmers Market Club is dedicated to connecting the youth generation with the Winchester community by helping out at the local market, and engaging in volunteer opportunities.
BriCo’s (Bridge to Connect) through BriCo, we strive to bridge cultural gaps, promote accessibility, and foster an inclusive environment at the market, ensuring everyone can enjoy its offerings and benefit from its resources.
Interns help with the food security programs like SNAP and Anna’s Fund which is sponsored by Winchester Savings Bank.
Food Pantry Collection at the end of the Market Day
For the past 10 years, the vendors at the Winchester Farmers market have generously donated produce to two worthy Woburn organizations: the Dwelling Place Soup Kitchen, and more recently, the Anchor Baptist Church Food Pantry. A dedicated group of volunteers delivers the produce after each market day.
Volunteers are always needed: Putting up tents, taking them down, helping with special events day, and more, just ask the market manager Fred at the market or you can email him.
