Farmer's Markets

Cornwall's Farmer's Markets

Join the local movement, and support Cornwall's Farmer's Markets.

Cornwall is proud of its long and strong agricultural heritage, and in 2017 this heritage will be physically manifested by the operation of not one, but two Farmer's Markets: the original long-running Cornwall Farm Market held on The Wish House lawn in West Cornwall (opening for the season on May 13th, 2017) and the Cornwall Co-op Farm Market making its debut on the Cornwall Green on May 20, 2017.

What better way to support Cornwall's local farms and businesses than to shop weekly at both of these establishments.

Local food (meat, milk, produce, baked goods, maple syrup, jams, jellies and preserves) and local flowers are one easy way to incorporate sustainable practices into your life. Sourcing food and flowers locally cuts down on pollution and carbon emissions required to transport these materials long distances to grocery stores or florists. Local food and flowers are fresher, more nutritious, taste better and last longer than their grocery store counterparts.

Here's the current list of 2017 Farmer's Markets throughout the state. Also, take a look at Connecticut Grown, a new magazine showcasing the bounty and breadth of agriculture in Connecticut. Don't forget to check out a generalized CT crop calendar for what to expect at the Farmer's Markets in the coming months.
