Farmers Markets near Litchfield, CT

Litchfield

The same Litchfield market keeps running past October by moving indoors. Summer Saturdays, June through October, are at 125 West Street; once the weather turns, the market shifts to the Litchfield Community Center at 421 Bantam Road for a biweekly Saturday winter season through early June. Both sessions run 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and carry the market's usual mix of locally grown produce, handcrafted foods, and gifts.

Litchfield

Litchfield Hills Farm-Fresh Market started in 2007 with fifteen local vendors and has grown into one of the region's longest-running markets, once named among the fifty best farmers' markets by Cooking Light. Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., June through October, it sets up in the parking lot next to the Litchfield Firehouse at 125 West Street with vendors like Anderson Acres Farm, Brookside Farm, Clover Meadows Farm, and Crosswick Farm selling produce grown largely without chemicals.

Goshen

Held at Miranda Vineyard on Ives Road, this market runs Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and doubles as a wine-tasting stop — the vineyard takes 10% off bottles during market hours. Vendors sell local produce, eggs, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, goat milk soap, and wooden crafts, and kids' activities like a scavenger hunt run through the season.

Morris

A newer Sunday market at SouthFarms on Higbie Road, running 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June through November. It was built around the idea of farmers helping other area farmers and local artisans connect directly with buyers rather than through a middleman market operator.

Goshen

This is the cold-weather side of Goshen's Saturday farmers market, running year-round, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the North Street town hall lot when the warmer-months Ives Road location closes for the season.

Torrington

The Northwest Connecticut Regional Food Hub aggregates produce from farms across the region and delivers it to schools, grocery stores, and restaurants, operating out of Torrington since 2017 as a program of Partners for Sustainable Healthy Communities. Rather than a single farm stand, it functions as a wholesale marketplace connecting area growers with institutional buyers.
