Naugatuck Farmers' Market | Kicking It Up A Notch

Farmers' markets are cherished as vibrant hubs of community, providing fresh produce, other local goods and crafts as well as a sense of connection to the land and its growers. The Naugatuck Farmers' Market is no exception. We have had the pleasure of being serviced by our very own Sunset Farm, Marcucio’s Farm and various craft and food vendors from the area for the past several years.

Over the past year, the Borough of Naugatuck has provided Sunset Farm with the ability to expand by allowing Sunset Farm to utilize Borough land near Sunset Farm on Andrew Mountain. In addition, Sunset Farm has attained the official status of being a “certified organic” farm.

As Sunset Farm expands, the Borough of Naugatuck has decided to expand our farmer's market using the New Haven Saturday morning Market near Wooster Street as our model. We intend to expand the market every week as we seek new vendors. We anticipate locally sourced meat, poultry, cheese, dog treats, honey and other similar items as well as more craft vendors. 

The Borough will provide music, bounce houses and other entertainment to attract larger crowds which will also entice more vendors to participate.  To grow a farmers market, you can’t just snap your fingers and obtain more vendors. We need to attract larger crowds and the new vendors will follow.

We will also be expanding our food selections. We are currently served by Tino’s Café with its specialty Oaxacan flavors as well as the Fat Boys food truck and its out of bounds selections.

The market vendors will also accept Senior and WIC FMNP benefits. Sunset Farm will also accept EBT.

In Naugatuck, we always strive to be the best. Let’s all work together to expand our farmers' market into a Statewide Sunday destination.

As our farmers market continues to grow, it will serve as a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together to share our passion for fresh, local, sustainable produce as well as other delicacies and crafts.

See you next Sunday!
