CitySeed Downtown Farmers Market

New Haven’s Downtown Farmers’ Market, at its NEW location on the New Haven Green across from City Hall, is a mid-day market and a hub for residents and commuters accessible by numerous city buses. Downtown office workers and visitors flock to this market to enjoy the abundant lunch options and pick up locally grown and produced items from an average of 8-10 vendors selling everything from berries to flowers to soup and baked goods.

Cash, credit and debit cards are accepted all CitySeed Farmers’ Markets. CitySeed also offers double value for SNAP (food stamps) at all of its markets. Use SNAP on any SNAP-eligible products at the CitySeed Farmers’ Markets, and CitySeed will match up to $10 per day, solely for additional fruits, vegetables, and seedlings! Come to the CitySeed Information Tent for more information.

CitySeed is a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide access to fresh, local food for all New Haven residents. In our view, access is a combination of proximity to food, affordability of food, and knowledge about food. We operate a series of food-related services and activities toward that end.

CitySeed’s mission is to engage the community in growing an equitable, local food system that promotes economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture. Our vision is to create a sustainable model of local economy, urban community, regional agriculture, environmental stewardship, and well-being through food.
