One of the best parts of the changing weather is the increased presence of farmers markets — and while Hoboken was attempting to expand its farmers markets this summer, it seems it won’t be happening after all. Mayor Bhalla had previously announced that starting this year, Hoboken would host three farmers markets to expand access to fresh produce from local and regional vendors to residents across the City, according to a press release. However, the newest farmers market — the Southwest Park Farmers Market — has just been canceled after being postponed twice. The Uptown Farmers Market and The Hoboken Farmers Market will both still be up and running, and downtown Hoboken residents will have to wait until next year for the new local market. Read on for what we know about the farmers market scene in Hoboken.

By now, many locals are well-acquainted with The Hoboken Farmers Market — that’s because it’s the city’s longest-running farmer‘s market, entering its 26th year this summer. The market, which the Hoboken Quality of Life Coalition sponsors, runs on Garden Street at Church Square Park between Fourth Street and Fifth Street every Tuesday from 2:00PM to 8:00PM and began on June 7th.

May 5th’s press release stated that all Hoboken farmers markets will offer nutritious fruits, vegetables, and other local products. Participating vendors will vary by market, but 2022’s vendors include Stony Hill Farms, Union Hill Farms, Melick’s Town Farm, Circle Brook Farms, Cotton Cattle, Hoboken Farms, Roger’s Seafood, Picklicious, Choc O Pain, Paolo’s Kitchen, Gourmet Dried Fruits and Nuts, and more. Additionally, select vendors accept SNAP benefits.
