About the market
The Princeton Farmers Market began in 2009 with the idea of bringing healthy, locally produced food and goods right into the center of Princeton. Our goal is to build a vibrant community that supports local agriculture, small businesses, a healthier environment and a more sustainable future. As we continue to build our community it is our goal to reach a larger audience and educate others on the value of eating fresh foods and shopping local. Customers can expect fresh produce, local meats, farmstead cheeses, baked goods, handcrafted items, knife sharpening, live music and lots more! The market doubles SNAP up to $20 a day, is accessible by public transportation, has plenty of seating and is pet friendly, so bring your furry friends along with you too!
