Farmers Markets near East Hampton, NY

East Hampton

Niantic

Niantic Farmers' Market runs Thursdays, 3 to 6 p.m., June through October, in the Methodist Street parking lot, organized by the nonprofit Niantic Main Street. Vendors sell produce, pies, breads, plants, herbs, greens, hummus, pork, and jams. A smaller winter version moves indoors to Smith's Acres Greenhouse on West Main Street once the outdoor season ends.

Waterford

Waterford's market runs Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Waterford Community Center on Rope Ferry Road. Its stated mission is to connect local farmers, producers, and artisans directly with shoppers for CT-grown vegetables, fruit, meat, cheese, and baked goods.

Field of Greens runs a Wednesday market, noon to 4 p.m., on the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital campus at 365 Montauk Avenue in New London. It's one stop in the nonprofit's multi-site effort to put a farmers market within walking distance of city neighborhoods, and both WIC and EBT are accepted at the tables.

Old Saybrook Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from late June through late October at 210 Main Street. Every vendor is guaranteed Connecticut grown or made — produce, corn, flowers, pies, and handmade goods — and proceeds from the market help fund the William Childress Scholarship in honor of the family that hosts it.

Saybrook

The Main Street market in Old Saybrook hits its stride in summer, with Saturday mornings from 9 to 12:30 drawing the widest vendor turnout of the June-through-October run. Look for sweet corn, cut flowers, and baked goods alongside the produce tables — all required to be Connecticut grown or made under the market's own rule.

New London

The same Field of Greens organization behind the L+M Wednesday market also runs a Friday session downtown at Williams Park, Broad and Williams Streets, from 2 to 5 p.m. Both markets share the same mission — walkable access to local produce for New London residents — and both accept WIC and EBT.

Ashlawn Farm hosts one of the largest farmers markets in southeastern Connecticut on its own 110-acre working farm at 78 Bill Hill Road. Bon Appetit has featured the market, which runs Fridays 3-6 p.m. and Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to noon from June through October, selling the farm's own natural beef alongside produce, baked goods, and crafts from other CT Grown vendors. SNAP and EBT are accepted.

Mystic

Mystic-Denison Farmers' Market sets up Sundays, noon to 3 p.m., June through fall, at the Denison Homestead Museum on Pequotsepos Road, across from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center. The market has run for more than two decades with a strict house rule: everything sold has to be grown or made directly on the vendor's own farm.

Mystic

The Denison Farmers Market sets up Sundays, noon to 3 p.m., June through October, across from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center at 120 Pequotsepos Road in Mystic. Vendors sell Connecticut-grown fruits and vegetables, baked goods, hemp products, and handmade crafts. The market has run for more than two decades and has become part of Mystic's Sunday routine — a nature center walk pairs naturally with a stop at the stalls.
