Farmer's Market to Open Friday

And this year it's bigger and better than ever, according to town officials.

Mayor Scott D. Jackson announces the start of what he describes as the biggest and most diverse Hamden Farmers Market to date.

The revamped Farmers Market will be held Fridays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting this Friday, June 24. The market will be open every Friday until October 7.

As in the past, it will be held in the Miller Memorial Central Library lower parking lot, located at 2901 Dixwell Ave.

This year's market will showcase the most comprehensive array of vendors yet, according to Jackson, including produce vendors, bakers, the Soup Girl, a specialized cookie truck and a barbecue vendor. The market will be bigger than years past and include Hamden Youth Services, which will provide arts and crafts activities for the younger marketgoers.

All produce is grown in Connecticut, making the Hamden Farmers Market a special event for all involved.

“Continuing and growing this great tradition of our Farmers Market is something of which Hamden can be very proud," Jackson said. "Giving local business in the community this venue, as well as giving our residents access to farm fresh products, is quite exciting.” 

The Farmers Market is sure to be a wonderful event each of the sixteen weeks, from June 24 until Oct. 7. All are encouraged to come peruse the marketplace and make the Farmers Market a regular lunch-time destination.
