Wasson Field in Downtown Milford hosts a special Children’s Market edition of the farmers market that puts kids at the center of the experience. The day is built around exploration and learning, with interactive opportunities that help young visitors discover where their food comes from while they play, create, and take the lead. Shoppers will find a wide range of offerings from more than 30 vendors, including Connecticut-grown fruits and vegetables, locally raised meats and dairy, fresh-baked goods, flowers, sustainable apparel, baby and pet items, home décor, art, and other handmade products. Many farmers emphasize organic and sustainable practices, bringing fresh, local food straight from nearby fields to the market. Food trucks add to the experience with breakfast and brunch favorites, coffee and matcha, ice cream, gluten-free treats, smoothies, barbecue, and other seasonal bites. Live music from local performers sets a welcoming backdrop, and special features may include pet adoption spotlights, cooking demonstrations, and insights from agriculture experts. Children can enjoy storytime, visits with farm animals, face painting, and even chances for young entrepreneurs to participate at vendor booths, plus a program where kids earn $1 tokens to pick their own fruits and vegetables directly from farmers. The Piglets Club for ages 6 and up reinforces healthy eating and agricultural education with kid-friendly activities and produce tokens. Participating farmers accept SNAP, WIC, and senior vouchers, creating an inclusive market that blends family fun with fresh groceries and artisan finds in the heart of Milford.
