June through October, it’s Connecticut’s largest and most diverse farmers’ market. We offer the freshest and best-tasting locally-grown produce, helping to preserve the tradition of small farms in the region. We specialize in organic, heirloom, ethnic and gourmet varieties of fruits and vegetables, and offer grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, milk, yogurt, smoked bacon, rustic breads, farmstead cheeses, European pastries, salsa, pesto, fresh herbs, cut flowers, chocolate fudge, honey, maple syrup, and more!
The market also features the work of local artists and artisans. Purchase handmade wares from those who crafted them and learn how they were created … think hemp clothing, goat’s milk soaps, beeswax candles, stoneware, herbal tinctures, handcrafted beadwork, vintage cotton tote bags, and handspun yarns.
Live entertainment makes shopping at the market an opportunity to visit and unwind. Sustainable living programs are a fun way to learn something new. Pet a goat, have lunch in a grassy spot under the maple trees, or give your little one a ride in a red wagon. It’s a dog-friendly market, too! A visit to our market with friends and family is the pièce de résistance of any weekend!

Over the course of the season, in addition to our full time vendors, we are joined by about 500 guest vendors, community groups, musical performers, sponsors, 4-H groups, chefs, artists, makers, and people teaching, demonstrating a craft, showing off their animals, and lending a hand in every way you can imagine to make the CRFM an amazing place.
Each week, you will find with us a highly curated array of at least 75 vendors. The best of the best. For some events, this number nearly doubles.
