The Roots Farm Market
Middlesex · Farm shop, fruit & veg4.7 · 105 reviewsThe Roots Farm Market sits on US Route 2 at Middlesex, Vermont, and it is farmer owned and operated.

Karin manages the market and Jon manages the farm, and the two businesses work closely together through the year.

The shelves follow the season: seeds, soil mixes, vegetable starts, compost, flowers, hanging baskets, fruit trees and berry bushes in spring, local produce through the summer, a large display of farm pumpkins, winter squash, mums and fall perennials at harvest, then Vermont grown Christmas trees and wreaths made at the farm in winter. An on site kitchen opened in 2021 and serves grab and go food all year, using as much of the farm grown produce as possible and seeking out organic sources for the rest, including the breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches it is known for locally.

The same herbal pastures are rotated into garlic beds, where the farm grows a porcelain hardneck variety called Music that is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers, packed by the pound and posted out.

Pigs root and graze rotationally through open fields and the hedges around the farm's native apple trees, fed fresh goats milk and apples, and they turn thick sod into new garlic beds and hayfields as they go.
