Did you know Rutland has more than 2,800 acres of active farmland over a dozen named farms? Be in the lookout as we highlight the farming community.

Our farming community is a big part of what makes Rutland special. Local farms help preserve open space, support our rural character, and bring fresh food and local products right to our neighbors.

The Rutland MA Farmers Market opens Wednesday, June 3 on the Town Common from 4–7 PM.

Come meet the farmers, growers, makers, bakers, and food vendors who help keep Rutland rooted in community.

Proudly supported by the Rutland Agricultural Commission and the Rutland Business Association.

Food and produce vendors are still being accepted. Apply and learn more at the link in comments

Rutland has strong roots and so does Gibbs Realty!!

Celebrating 20 years in business! We’re reintroducing ourselves over the coming weeks—stay tuned to learn more about us and Gibbs Realty Inc!

🎉 Meet Sophia Gibbs! 🎉

Sophia, the youngest of the Gibbs family, was born and raised in Rutland, MA—and real estate has been part of her life from the very beginning! 🏡 Now a full-time REALTOR®, she’s turned that lifelong exposure into a true passion for helping clients buy and sell their homes.

After graduating from the Wachusett School District, Sophia earned her real estate license while working full-time. She also gained valuable experience as General Manager of Rutland Marketplace, where she worked her way up from Deli Associate and learned the importance of hard work, high standards, and always going the extra mile. 💪

When Sophia isn’t working, you might find her:
☕ Grabbing a Starbucks or Nespresso
💪 Getting a workout in
🐾 Snuggling her Goldendoodle, Cooper
🎶 Enjoying live music at a local brewery with family and friends

Driven, dedicated, and always striving for more, Sophia is ready to help you every step of the way—be sure to say hi! 👋😊

📣 We are looking for a new Planning Board member! 📣

In the last couple of years, the Planning Board created a position for an Associate Member. This individual would be appointed for a 3-year term and would participate in all matters that come before the Board. However, this position only votes when there are not enough members present to take action.

Since it's inception, 2 residents have served in this role. And they enjoyed it SO much, they ran for an elected seat and both are now full-time members of the Board. 🥳

The Planning Board is largely responsible for community planning, development, subdivision oversight and zoning bylaws. They play an important role in Town affairs and new faces are always welcome!

If you are interested in serving, please complete a Volunteer Application Form: https://www.rutlandma.gov/FormCenter/Town-Administrator-11/Volunteer-Application-Form-65
