The Willimantic Farmers Market is a cherished community destination held every Saturday from 8 AM to 12 PM at the scenic Willimantic Whitewater Park, located at 28 Bridge Street in Willimantic, Connecticut. Open seasonally from May through October, this lively open-air market brings together dozens of local farmers, artisans, and small businesses offering a diverse selection of fresh, organic, and seasonal fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised meats, free-range eggs, artisanal cheeses, homemade breads, maple syrup, honey, jams, cut flowers, crafts, and much more.

This dynamic marketplace supports sustainable agriculture and promotes healthy living by connecting residents and visitors with the freshest food grown right here in Eastern Connecticut. The market proudly accepts SNAP/EBT and participates in the Double Dollars Program, providing customers up to $20 in matching funds to make fresh, healthy food even more accessible. It also honors WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) benefits, making it a truly inclusive place to shop and support local growers.

More than just a place to buy groceries, the Willimantic Farmers Market is a vibrant community event with a welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages. You’ll often find live music, kids' activities, informational booths, and educational demonstrations focused on nutrition, cooking, and sustainability. Whether you're looking for ingredients for tonight’s dinner, a special handcrafted gift, or just a relaxing morning stroll, the market offers an enriching and family-friendly experience.

When the outdoor season wraps up, the market continues indoors with the Willimantic Winter Farmers Market, hosted at the First Congregational Church on Main Street every 2nd and 4th Saturday from November through April.
