About Us

Buy your food from the folks who grow it and get to know your local food producers.

Northeast Connecticut Farmers’ Markets are open in Danielson, Putnam, Brooklyn and Plainfield from June through October. Local farmers offer their own fruit, vegetables, and flowering plants for sale, freshly picked, often just before the market opens.

From its beginning in 1980 as a Saturday morning event, the market has generated great community response. Devoted customers return year after year, asking for old favorites and finding new delights. New customers continue to find us. It’s a joy in June and a sadness as October ends, but there’s always next year! The farmers know these feelings also, as these are the months we can sell our bountiful goods at a fair retail price, helping us to stay in business for another season.

Best of all, our markets enable “Quiet Corner” residents to get the freshest produce at a reasonable price. Our quality can’t be beaten by imported food. How would you look after traveling fifteen hundred miles in the back of a truck?

We invite you to see for yourself. Once you taste it, you’ll know the difference.
