Stonington Village Farmers Market
2028-11-25 09:00 - 12:00, 2028-11-18 09:00 - 12:00, 2028-11-11 09:00 - 12:00 | Velvet Mill, 22 Bayview Ave, Stonington, CT, 06378, United States
Stonington Village Farmers Market has become one of the defining Saturday morning traditions along the Connecticut shoreline, bringing together local farms, food vendors, artisans, musicians, and neighbors inside and outside the historic Velvet Mill. Running year-round since becoming a permanent seasonal fixture in 2008, the market transforms with the seasons, moving outdoors during the warmer months and indoors during late fall and winter while continuing to serve as a gathering place for the community.
The market offers far more than produce stands. Visitors can browse locally grown vegetables and fruits, cheeses, baked goods, meats, seafood, maple syrup, flowers, mushrooms, prepared foods, and handmade crafts while live music plays in the background. The atmosphere feels distinctly coastal New England, blending small-town community energy with the creativity and food culture that defines Stonington Village. Families, dog owners, and longtime locals mingle throughout the morning while vendors showcase everything from handmade soaps and pottery to organic kombucha and Mediterranean cuisine.
What makes the Stonington Village Farmers Market stand out is how deeply connected it feels to the rhythm of the region itself. Some visitors arrive early for greenhouse spinach or fresh seafood before it sells out, while others come simply to wander with coffee in hand and reconnect with neighbors. Between the local farmers, prepared food vendors, musicians, and rotating artisan booths, the market has evolved into more than a shopping destination. It has become a weekly community ritual that reflects the character, creativity, and agricultural roots of southeastern Connecticut.
