Farmers Markets
Our markets provide a direct connection to more than 50 Connecticut vendors, including farms, nurseries, bakeries, cheese makers, and specialty food producers.
Market Information
What to Expect
CitySeed Farmers Markets are producer-only markets, which means all of the produce a farmer sells under their tent was grown on their farm. This also means you will only find seasonal produce that is native to Connecticut. The produce selection will vary depending on the season. Arrive early for the best variety, as farmers often sell out by the end of the market.Value added producers that use local ingredients are welcome at our markets. If you are a local vendor who is interested in incorporating local ingredients into your product, please contact us for recommendations.
CitySeed Information Tent
Here you can purchase SNAP tokens, t-shirts and tote bags, and sign up for CitySeed’s Friends of the Market customer loyalty program.
How to Pay
Farmers and vendors accept cash, credit, and debit. All CitySeed Farmers’ Markets accept WIC FMNP checks, Senior FMNP checks, and SNAP benefits. CitySeed doubles the value of SNAP at all of our markets for fresh produce. The Dixwell Q-House Market will be doubling all cash, credit, and debit purchases. Double your dollar at the Q House market!
Double Value for SNAP!
CitySeed offers double value for SNAP (food stamps) at all of its markets and Mobile Market. Use SNAP on any SNAP-eligible products at the CitySeed Farmers’ Markets. CitySeed will match SNAP dollars spent on additional fruits, vegetables, and seedlings! Come to the CitySeed Information Tent for more information.
