The Bristol Farmers Market season continues to be a great destination for families and individuals looking to purchase a wide range of products: farm fresh vegetables, fruits and products from local farms, hand-made beef jerky, baked goods, coffee, maple syrup, all natural pet food, plant-based organic farm snacks, beer and craft spirits. 

Weekly food trucks range from BBQ to freshly-made donuts. 

The market is held rain or shine every Saturday through October 30 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Centre Square in Downtown Bristol. The Bristol Farmers Market currently hosts up to 18 vendors each week. 

Pictured here left to right are three of the vendors: Amazing Love Farm selling plant-based organic farm snacks, Tonn’s Orchard selling seasonal fruits and vegetables along with freshly-picked flower bouquets, and Ridgerunner Soap Company selling all-natural soap products and soy candles.
 

On Saturday August 28, members of the BEST (Bristol Eliminating Substance Use Together) coalition along with the staff from Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services will be at the market to provide resources and helpful information about substance misuse and how they are working to bring awareness to work toward unifying the community to promote wellness through increasing education to prevent substance misuse by youth.

The Bristol Public Library will also be a guest vendor on Saturday and will have information about their programs and services offered at the Main Library and the Manross Library.

In addition to being an authorized SNAP/EBT farmers market, the City of Bristol Farmers Market is recognized by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture as accepting payment vouchers from the Women, Infants, and Children Farmers Market Nutrition Program and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. All participating farms are certified by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture.
