Summit Farmers Market at DeForest Avenue Lot This September

The Summit Farmers Market is an ongoing weekly outdoor market in downtown Summit. Celebrating over thirty years of connecting residents with regional agriculture, the market features growers and food producers strictly from New Jersey. It serves as a central neighborhood gathering spot each Sunday through late fall.

This recurring event is designed for local residents, families, and food enthusiasts who want access to high quality seasonal ingredients. It offers an easy way to support local agriculture, reduce food transit distances, and buy items made right in the state.

Visitors can expect row after row of vendor stalls offering fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, pasture-raised meats, fresh seafood, local honey, and artisanal breads. Specialized vendors also sell hot breakfast items, coffee, and gourmet goods to enjoy while browsing the market stalls.

The market takes place on Sunday September twenty from eight AM to one PM at Park and Shop Lot Number One, located at the corner of DeForest Avenue and Woodland Avenue in Summit. Pedestrians can enter through the main walkway on DeForest Avenue.

There is no entry fee or registration required to attend the market. Shoppers pay vendors directly for any produce, food, or goods they choose to buy.
