Our Story: Growing Wellness, One Season at a Time
Since 2005, the Downtown Milford Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of community connection. Founded by four visionary women from the Downtown Milford Business Association and supported by the CT State Department of Agriculture and farmer Sabrina Santoro, the market has grown from a humble beginning at 54 River Street to a thriving weekly destination at Wasson Field. Each week, nearly 800 visitors gather to support local agriculture, nourish their families, and strengthen the local economy.

We’re more than a market — we’re where stories begin and generations grow together.
What makes us truly one of a kind? We’re CT’s seasonal farmers market that centers on inspiring the youngest generations as the heart of our mission.
At the Downtown Milford Farmers Market, we believe that access to fresh, local food and meaningful experiences should belong to everyone. Here, curiosity is nurtured in the young, wisdom is honored in our elders, and families connect through every shared moment — whether they’ve lived in Milford for years or are visiting from a neighboring town.
We take a bold, intentional approach: sparking healthy relationships with food at the earliest ages, creating interactive experiences that plant the seeds of wellness while inviting families to grow side by side.
This isn’t just a place for adults to shop — it’s where the next generation learns to love fresh food, community connection, and the joy of healthy living.
When you walk through our market, you’re stepping into a space built for every stage of life — where habits are formed young, support is lifelong, and community isn’t just visited, it’s lived.

We envision a Milford where each season deepens the bonds between people, the land, and a vibrant way of life grounded in health, joy, and shared purpose. A place where neighbors from near and far come together to nurture curiosity, foster growth, and inspire lasting connections.
Through fresh harvests, meaningful experiences, and the flourishing of small businesses, we see a community where every generation not only thrives but uplifts the next — united in a legacy of wellness and togetherness.

Children’s Market: This is a space where play, learning, and community collide. Kids can dive into imaginative play and act out their favorite stories, while many of our vendors’ children take the lead at family booths to greet customers and handle sales. We bring character photo ops, face painters, and storytellers to spark curiosity. It’s an agricultural environment designed to help children grow into lifelong market lovers and create lasting memories throughout the season.
Piglet’s Clubs (Run by the Giggling Pig of Milford): A 20-week agricultural program for kids. Each week, they earn tokens to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables while learning about farming and healthy eating habits through hands-on activities.
