Fresh produce, baked goods, local artisans and live music are returning to Greater Morristown as the outdoor farmers market season gets into full swing.

The Morris Plains Farmers Market opened its 24th season on June 13 and continues every Saturday through Oct. 10, while the Morristown Farmers Market launches its 2026 season this Sunday, June 21, running through Nov. 22.

Together, the markets offer residents two opportunities each weekend to shop locally, support small businesses and connect with neighbors.

In Morris Plains, the market is held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Merchant Block at 738 Speedwell Ave. Organizers describe it as a community gathering place featuring seasonal produce from local farms, along with specialty vendors offering baked goods, craft beverages and custom artwork.

The market also features live musical entertainment sponsored by Weichert Realtors and is collaborating with Downtown Morris Plains to connect shoppers with local businesses and organizations.

Sponsored by Provident Bank and supported by the borough’s mayor and council, the market seeks to support local farmers and small businesses while providing a family-friendly outdoor experience.

Morristown’s market opens June 21 and will operate every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Morristown Parking Authority lot at Spring and Morris streets, behind the Morristown Post Office.

Produced by the Morristown Partnership, the market is sponsored by Sanofi, BASF and SJP Properties.

More than 35 vendors are expected to participate this season, including full-time, rotational and pop-up vendors. Organizers say shoppers can expect offerings ranging from fresh-caught fish and vegan specialty products to soups, pickles, ice pops, kombucha, tomatoes and bone broths.

“SJP Properties is proud to once again sponsor the Morristown Farmers Market, a beloved seasonal tradition that brings residents and visitors together with access to fresh, local food and lively entertainment,” said Steve Pozycki, founder and CEO of SJP Properties.

“The market is coming back stronger than ever in 2026, with an exciting mix of new vendors joining many of our longtime favorites,” said Cassidy Champi, program manager for the Morristown Partnership. “We look forward to welcoming visitors each week to explore an even wider variety of products while enjoying the atmosphere, live music and vibrant energy that make the market such a special community gathering place.”

For residents eager to stock up on fresh produce and locally made products, the two markets create a weekend tradition stretching from Saturday morning in Morris Plains to Sunday afternoon in Morristown.
