Set on the grounds of the Dudley Farm Museum, a working farm preserved as it looked in 1900, this is the second-oldest continuously run farmers market in Connecticut.

A smaller winter market runs on alternating Saturdays from February through April.

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.
