The most wonderful time of the year (in our opinion) is officially upon us! That’s right — it’s farmers’ market season and nothing feels better than being able to buy, eat and cook with locally-grown and sustainable foods from nearby Connecticut farms.
Lucky for us, Hartford is a city full of opportunities to buy local and fresh food all season long! Whether you’re new to the city, new to farmers’ markets or looking to discover a new one, we are sharing all the farmers' markets in Hartford happening this season.

Formerly known as the Hartford Regional Market, the Connecticut Regional Market is held every Saturday and Sunday from 6:00am–9:00am from April 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!

The West End Farmers' Market is more than your typical farmers’ market, taking it to the next level with food trucks, family-friendly activities and live music. It is a celebration of West End culture, local farmers and businesses. Because the farmers' market is held on Clemens Place Green, families are invited to bring lawn chairs, and blankets, and relax on the green. At every market, you can expect fresh food and product from tons of local farmers, artisanal goods from small businesses and so much more.

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).
