Ellington Farmers Market

Join us on Saturday, June 6th from 9am to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple St in Ellington for our Puppy Love market — one of the most fun and heartwarming mornings of the season!
Meet adorable adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes, pick up gourmet treats for the pup you already have, and don't miss the canine frisbee catching demonstration at 10:30am — trust us, you'll want to stick around for that one. A local dog trainer will also be on hand all morning to answer your questions, whether you have a new puppy or a seasoned companion who could use a little guidance.
Keeping the whole morning feeling warm and wonderful will be the incredibly popular Second Helping — an acoustic trio bringing the timeless sounds of the 60's and 70's to Market Park. Think Simon &amp; Garfunkel, The Beatles, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and so many more beloved artists. Bring a blanket, grab a bite, and let the music take you back.
And of course — all your favorite vendors will be there too! The variety of fresh local produce grows every single week as more crops come into season, and our specialty vendors bring an incredible range of options including vegan and gluten free choices. We are proudly doubling SNAP and FMNP benefits — stop by the market booth to learn more.
Whether you're there for the dogs, the music, the fresh food, or all of the above — we cannot wait to share this morning with you.
