Formerly known as the Hartford Regional Market, the Connecticut Regional Market is held every Saturday and Sunday from 6:00am–9:00am from May through October.
The Market is a 33-acre facility with over 185,000 square feet of warehouse and refrigerated space located at 101 Reserve Road in Hartford. Every weekend, more than 100 vendors are on-site with goods such as fresh vegetables, fruit, honey, eggs, and plants. The largest farmers' market in the area, the Connecticut Regional Market is the perfect place to get the best of both worlds—flowers and farm-fresh goods. Some vendors may sell out before 9:00 am, so it’s best to get to the market extra early!

Almost all farmers’ markets in Hartford accept SNAP and EBT. The West End Farmers' Market and Broad Street Farmers' Market participate in the Double Value Coupon Program (DVCP), a national non-profit program that provides customers with an incentive to spend their SNAP dollars at farmers'' markets by doubling the value of SNAP they spend on produce, $20 per market (a $40 value).
