The Nutley Farmers Market has been a community tradition since 2009, bringing together local farmers, food producers, artisans, musicians, and neighbors in the heart of Nutley. Visitors can shop for a wide variety of fresh, regionally grown produce, farm-fresh eggs and meats, baked goods, flowers, honey, cheeses, pickles, specialty foods, and handcrafted products while enjoying live musical entertainment each week.
More than just a market, the Nutley Farmers Market supports local and regional agriculture, connects shoppers directly with the people who grow and make their food, and helps strengthen our downtown business district. It is a vibrant gathering place where residents and visitors can meet friends, discover new products, and enjoy a Sunday morning in the community.
The market operates every Sunday from mid-June through October, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., along Booth Drive in Downtown Nutley.
Free parking is available in the Nutley High School parking lot off Vincent Place. Additional street parking is available along Franklin Avenue.
Interested in becoming a vendor, musical guest, or Walk & Talk leader? Contact Co-Market Manager Meredith Blank at farmersmarket@nutleynj.org or 973-284-4978.
The Nutley Farmers Market is sponsored by Commissioner Dr. Joseph P. Scarpelli, Director of Public Works and the Greenutley Committee.
