The Danbury Farmers’ Market is on the move this summer, with a new day and location. Danbury Farmers’ Market will be Fridays, from 10am – 2pm, in its new location, the Danbury Railway Museum, centrally located at 120 White Street in downtown Danbury. The market will run 20 continuous weeks from opening day Friday, June 19th through Friday, October 30th.
To keep farmers and shoppers safe during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Danbury Farmers’ Market in coordination with the City of Danbury Department of Health and Human Services has adopted new protocols with guidance from CT Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control. Vendors and shoppers will be required to wear face masks, sanitize their hands, and practice physical distancing. Customers are encouraged to shop alone whenever possible.
Complimentary parking will be available at the Danbury Metro-North lot located at 1 Patriot Drive on Fridays from 10am-2pm. It’s just a 5 minute walk up the sidewalk to the Danbury Railway Museum. Parking is also available at the Patriot Garage (regular rates apply).
The Danbury Farmers’ Market, now in its eleventh year, is coordinated by the Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative, a 30-member group representing a wide variety of community agencies, in partnership with CityCenter Danbury. It will continue to be a great place to purchase local produce in downtown Danbury.
The market accepts EBT/SNAP and Debit cards! SNAP benefits will be matched for any dollar amount for SNAP recipients using their EBT cards. Special incentives are available for Veterans, seniors, and WIC recipients.
There’s no better way to strengthen our local community than to shop and eat locally. By shopping the Danbury Farmers’ Market, you support our local famers, businesses and community members.
