Founded by community visionary Karen Kisslinger, the Millerton Farmers Market seeks to promote and assist local farms and promote the value of food grown and made without chemicals, both for human health and the environment. Most of our growers are either organic or otherwise "clean-grown" - all will provide a statement of growing practices upon request!

| Cassandra (student) and Tracy (supervisor) at the Market, July 2010 |
Students staffing NECC’s table are participants in our job training project, the Community Partnership with Schools and Business. Their job this summer is working at the market, visiting and helping on many of the participating farms, and running their own entrepreneurial business, purchasing products from local farmers and producers and selling them at the market. Any profits will be reinvested in the program. They are selling their own homemade jam, jelly and herbed soaps and chapsticks, as well as reselling products from:
Honey, soap & candles - Pine Hill Farm, Sharon
Pickles, sauerkraut & kim-chi made through lacto-fermentation - Adamah Project, Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center, Falls Village, CT
