Ellington Farmers Market

Join us on Saturday, July 18th from 9am to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple St in Ellington for the Ellington Farmers Market's annual Blueberry Festival - one of the most beloved and delicious days of the entire season.
The star of the show is LuAnn's legendary fresh blueberry shortcake - biscuits piled high with fresh blueberries and whipped cream. But the blueberry goodness doesn't stop there. You'll also find locally grown fresh blueberries, blueberry baked goods galore, jams, soaps, drinks, honey, and even blueberry dog treats for your furry family members.
Keeping the morning lively and lovely will be the talented Eastview Drive, bringing their signature sound to Market Park for a morning that is as sweet as the berries themselves.
The Kids Power of Produce Club is happening again this week, free face painting will be on hand for the little ones, and we are proudly doubling SNAP and FMNP benefits at the market booth.
If you love the best blue food that nature has to offer - this is the market for you. Come celebrate the blues that make you happy!

Dill with it — Picklefest is back!
Join us on Saturday, July 25th from 9am to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple St in Ellington for one of our most beloved and zesty market days of the year.
Come find every type of pickled cucumber you can imagine, plus dilly beans, pickled vegetables, pickle accessories and gifts, pickle breads, and all manner of pickle flavored and themed items from our incredible vendors. And if that's not enough to get you to Market Park, wait until you get to LuAnn's pickle cupcakes! Debuted at our very first Picklefest in 2023 and made famous at the Big E, these legendary treats are not to be missed.
But Picklefest is about more than just the food. The Ellington Historical Society will be on hand to share the fascinating — and frankly scandalous — story of Ellington's very own bouncing pickle controversy. You'll have to come find out what that's all about.
And keeping the whole morning lively and delightful will be the incredibly talented Free Range Humans, returning to Market Park with their signature bluegrass sound that we absolutely cannot get enough of.
Whether you are a lifelong pickle devotee or just pickle-curious, this is one Saturday morning you do not want to miss.
