  • CitySeed Farmers Markets

    SINCE LAUNCHING THE CITY'S FIRST FARMERS MARKET IN 2004, WE HAVE GROWN A NETWORK OF YEAR-ROUND MARKETS THAT CONNECT OVER 60 CONNECTICUT FARMERS AND PRODUCERS TO 60,000 CUSTOMERS, BUILDING INCLUSIVITY BY ACCEPTING ALL NUTRITION SUPPORT BENEFITS AND BRINGING MARKETS TO UNDER-RESOURCED NEIGHBORHOODS. CITYSEED'S FARMERS MARKETS OFFER A PLATFORM, ALONG WITH SUBSIDIZED VENDING FEES AND NO-COST MARKET KITS, FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES, ENTREPENEURS, AND FARMERS TO EXHIBIT AND SELL THEIR PRODUCTS, PRIORITIZING THOSE FROM NEW HAVEN NEIGHBORHOODS AND THUS CIRCUMVENTING BARRIERS TO ENTRY THAT RISING ENTREPENEURS, ESPECIALLY ENTREPENEURS OF COLOR, MAY FACE. IN 2022, OUR MARKETS REDEEMED $65,000+ IN NUTRITION PROGRAM INVENTIVES FOR VULNERABLECOMMUNITY MEMBERS (SENIOURS, CHILDREN, MOTHERS AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES); AND LAUNCHED THE DIXWELL COMMUNITY HOUSE MARKET IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY COLLABORATORS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO FRESH LOCAL FOOD, ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESSES, AND ART IN THIS UNDERSERVED, BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD.
