In New Haven, the heartbeat of community and fresh, local flavor pulses through the tents of the CitySeed Farmers Market. Each week, farmers, artisans, and neighbors gather to celebrate the best Connecticut has to offer. From the vibrant seasonal produce to the welcoming smiles of local vendors, every visit feels like a warm embrace of New England’s agricultural roots.
CitySeed Connections
At its core, CitySeed is about connection—connection to the land, to the farmers who grow the food, and to the community that supports them. As a producer-only market, every fruit, vegetable, and bouquet of flowers sold here comes straight from a Connecticut farm. This means the selection changes with the seasons, offering the freshest native produce, from sun-ripened tomatoes in summer to crisp apples and pumpkins in the fall.
For the best variety, come early—these market treasures tend to sell out quickly. And it’s not just about produce. You’ll also find vendors crafting jams, baked goods, and other delights, many incorporating local ingredients into their products.

More Than Just a Market
CitySeed Farmers Market is more than a place to shop; it’s a place to connect. Stop by the CitySeed Information Tent to learn about programs like the “Friends of the Market” loyalty program or to purchase market t-shirts and totes that help support this incredible initiative. It’s also the go-to spot for SNAP tokens and information about CitySeed’s Double Value SNAP program, which stretches food budgets further by matching dollars spent on fresh fruits and vegetables.
A Place for Everyone
Whether you’re shopping for your week’s groceries, picking up a freshly baked loaf of bread, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, CitySeed Farmers Market feels like a place where everyone belongs. It’s a space where you’ll hear farmers sharing stories about their crops, kids laughing as they taste fresh berries, and neighbors catching up over cups of locally roasted coffee.
And don’t worry about how to pay—farmers and vendors accept cash, credit, debit, WIC FMNP checks, Senior FMNP checks, and SNAP benefits. CitySeed makes it easy to invest in the local economy while nourishing your family.
Visit one of CitySeed’s markets and discover for yourself why it’s more than a market—it’s a movement. Come hungry, leave inspired, and bring a little piece of Connecticut home with you.
