The Burlington Farmers Market soldiers on at 345 Pine Street this week, with growers from across the region gathering to sell their rescued produce and support each other through this period of repair. Customers looking to help their local farms find carrots and radishes snatched from the jaws of the flood alongside other vegetables, eggs, sausages, honey and freshly prepared foods.

Get in the Groove

Catamount Arts' Levitt AMP St. Johnsbury Music Series continues apace with a hip-shaking show from Joe Samba. The Massachusetts-born rocker takes over Dog Mountain for an evening of reggae-inspired grooves blended perfectly with gritty guitar riffs, transporting picnickers and their furry friends to a punk's island paradise.

Vermont Stage teams up with Williston's Isham Family Farm for a moving production of Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Talley's Folley. The story, set on a Missouri farm in 1944, follows a Protestant country girl and a lovestruck Jewish immigrant as they express, deny and finally accept their feelings for one another.

Vergennes gallery Northern Daughters presents "The Past Is Fighting Itself Again / Las Cuentas de Mi Abuela," an utterly compelling dual exhibition of the work of Maria Flores Galindo and Peter Wallis. Spanish artist Galindo's collages are delicate but evocative, demonstrating hours and hours of precise work; Vermont illustrator and printmaker Wallis' pieces display an innovative approach to classic techniques.
