About the Market
The Millbrook Farmers & Makers Market is the oldest Farmers Market in Dutchess County. We are located in the Village of Millbrook in the parking lot at 3263 Franklin Avenue. We average about 22 vendors and 550 visitors per week. We have a strong market committee with members who have worked hard over the past few years to improve the number and mix of vendors, increase foot traffic and to create a community gathering space.
The Market operates on a co-manager model. The Preseason Market Manager is primarily responsible for the administrative aspects of the Market. The Onsite Market Manager is primarily responsible for the operation of the Market each Saturday. The co-managers can, as needed, assist the other with their responsibilities.
We are looking for a dynamic Onsite Manager to take over from our current manager who is retiring. Happily, the Preseason Manager from 2025 will be returning for the 2026 season.
