East Haven Farmers Market Returns 2022
DATE: 5/10/2022
PRESS RELEASE: East Haven Farmers Market Returns
The East Haven Farmers Market is set to open its 2022 season on Sunday, June 12th. The
market, which takes place at the East Haven Town Green, operates on Sunday mornings from 8:30am until noon. The market is a rain or shine. If the market is canceled, it will be posted on the town’s social media accounts and website.
Farmers markets are an integral part of the urban/farm linkage and have continued to rise in
popularity, mostly due to the growing consumer interest in obtaining fresh products directly from
the farm. “Our farmer’s market is a great place to meet up with neighbors, support our local farmers and purchase seasonal produce. Farmers depend on the community to purchase their produce. The East Haven Farmer’s market continues to grow each season and that is thanks to the residents and those who visit from our neighboring town’s continued support.” – Mayor Carfora
The East Haven Farmers Market allows consumers to have access to locally grown,
farm fresh produce. " The number of new vendors and variety of offerings have increased over the seasons. Our goal is to provide affordable, fresh, local and healthy foods to our residents” said Michelle Benivegna, the market manager. Our town has many community partners who support the market. Once again, free yoga will be offered on Sunday’s at 9:00 on the green. The market has also partnered with the Shoreline Garden Club this season. Together we will be offering different planting activities for our residents throughout the market season. On our opening day, the garden club will be there offering an opportunity for residents to plant herbs in pots that they can decorate. The market will be providing free market shopping bags also on opening day. Be sure to follow the farmer’s marker Facebook page to learn of upcoming events and activities. These activities will be free of charge. Come down and check your local farmer’s market.
New vendors are welcome to participate in the market. Contact Michelle Benivegna at East Haven Town Hall at 203-468-3204 or email mbenivegna@townofeasthavenct.org
