Ellington Farmers Market

Mom deserves something extraordinary — and we have just the place to find it.
Join us Saturday, May 9th from 9am to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple St in Ellington for our Mother's Day Market! Whether you're searching for the perfect gift or looking for a beautiful way to spend the morning together, the Ellington Farmers Market has you covered.
Browse stunning garden and flowering plants, gorgeous hanging baskets, and fresh local bouquets — the kind of flowers that actually last because they were grown with care right here in our region. Pick up artisanal baked treats, locally crafted food goods, and discover something truly special from our lineup of guest vendors bringing unique and one-of-a-kind gifts just in time for Mom's big day.
Or better yet — skip the gift wrap entirely and just bring her along. There is no better way to celebrate the women we love than a slow Saturday morning in the fresh air, surrounded by beautiful things, good food, and the warmth of this community.
However you celebrate, we hope to see you there.
