Live in Niantic

The Niantic Farmers’ Market is a key part of our Niantic community! Now in its impressive 15th season, this beloved local tradition continues to bring neighbors together while supporting local agriculture and artisans. Every Thursday afternoon, Methodist Street transforms into a bustling marketplace filled with the colors, aromas, and flavors that make our region special. Whether you’re a long-time resident or just visiting our charming coastal town, the market offers a perfect opportunity to experience authentic local culture and connect with the people who make our community thrive.

The 2023 market season is in full swing, operating every Thursday from 3:00 to 6:00 pm through October 23rd. Conveniently located on Methodist Street (across from Niantic Bay Bicycles), the market is easily accessible for residents and visitors alike. With its afternoon hours, it’s perfectly timed for an after-work shopping trip or a leisurely mid-week outing. As the cornerstone of Niantic Main Street’s community initiatives, the farmers’ market has become not just a place to shop, but a weekly social gathering that strengthens the bonds between neighbors while supporting our local economy.

Step into the Niantic Farmers’ Market and you’ll be greeted by an impressive array of local bounty that showcases the best our region has to offer. Local farmers proudly display freshly harvested seasonal produce – from spring greens to summer berries and fall squashes – all grown within miles of where you stand. The market goes far beyond just fruits and vegetables, though. Artisanal food producers offer homemade pies with flaky crusts, freshly baked breads still warm from the oven, and jars of handcrafted jams and jellies that capture the essence of each season. Don’t miss the opportunity to treat yourself to freshly-filled cannolis – a market favorite that keeps shoppers coming back week after week!

The diversity of offerings extends to unique local products that highlight our community’s creativity and craftsmanship. Browse native wool products perfect for knitting projects or handmade textiles. Plant enthusiasts will find herbs, seedlings, and established plants to enhance home gardens. Local meat producers offer humanely raised pork products, while specialty vendors provide everything from homemade hummus to freshly roasted coffee.
