We Proudly Announce Our Friends of the Market Program
When our market opens for the season on Sunday, June 1 some market-goers will be getting the royal treatment… like a free cup of coffee from Lizzie’s Curbside Café, a free pony ride for a child,  free beeswax candle from Bird Song Farm, a free hemp market bag from Clothworks, and a free tin of moisturizing Coffee Butter Balm from Rich Valley Farm.  Our newly created Friends of the Market program will allow supporters to be showered with such perks on opening day and each Sunday through the end of October!

In exchange for a $25 donation or 5 hours of work, a fan of our market can earn ‘Friend of the Market’ status.  They will receive a special market logo pin identifying them as a Friend of the Market… and wearing it at the market is their ticket to special discounts, freebies, and opportunities all season long.

The Coventry Regional Farmers’ Market is the state’s largest farmers’ market.  Last season, over 33,000 visitors came to the market.  The Friends of the Market program offers a tangible way to support to the market as well as fuel its continued growth.  To learn more about getting your Friend of the Market pin for opening day email us!

OPENING DAY, June 1... it's almost here!
Opening Day will find us in our NEW HOME at the Nathan Hale Homestead!  Need directions?  Click here. We'll kick off this year with a Farm-to-Market day! 
On this day we bring the farm to the market with antique tractors, baby farm animals, and the planting of planting the “three sisters:” corn, pumpkin, and bean seeds.  Fiber artisans will demonstrate sheep shearing, needle felting, and natural dyeing.  Noontime brings the cutting and serving up of the market’s fifth birthday cake.  Noontime brigs the cutting and serving of the market's fifth birthday cake!  At 12:30, Bill Duesing, director of the Connecticut chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association shows us how to get starting in gardening organically and at 1:00, the women of Ladybug Landscaping teach us how to create “black gold,” rich compost for our gardens. Connecticut dairy cooperative The Farmer’s Cow visits with a calf.  Enjoy live music, pony rides, and sweet “mud pies.”

June through October
11 am-2 pm every Sunday
in Coventry, Connecticut

Offering Connecticut-grown produce, as fresh as it gets, delicious things to eat, artisan ware, entertainment, and sustainable-living programs...the Boston Globe calls the Coventry Regional Farmers’ Market "one of the top ten things to do in New England this weekend."

The market is held June through October, every Sunday from 11 am to 2 pm, on the grounds of the Nathan Hale Homestead located in Coventry at 2299 South Street.  Surrounded by over 500 acres of forest and picturesque rural landscape, the Hale Farm provides a gracious backdrop for this vibrant market.

The Coventry Regional Farmers' Market provides the community with the freshest and best-tasting locally-grown produce while helping to preserve the tradition of small farms in the region. Our farmers specialize in organic, heirloom, ethnic and gourmet varieties of fruits and vegetables, and offer grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, smoked bacon, rustic breads, farmstead cheeses, freshly-baked pies, European pastries, sparkling jars of preserves and pickles, gourmet dog treats, fresh herbs, cut flowers, chocolate fudge, honey, maple syrup, and more! 

The market also features the work of local artists and artisans.  Purchase diverse, handmade wares from those who crafted them and learn how they were created … think hemp clothing, goat’s milk soaps, wrought iron, beeswax candles, stoneware, herbal tinctures, handcrafted beadwork, vintage cotton tote bags, and handspun yarns. 
 

Live entertainment makes shopping at the market an opportunity to visit and unwind. Sustainable living programs are a fun way to learn something new. Pet a goat, have lunch in a grassy spot under the maple trees, or give your little one a ride in a red wagon. A visit to our market with friends and family is the pièce de résistance of any weekend!
