Franklin Lakes runs one of the longest seasons in the county — 27 consecutive Saturdays.

- Where: Town Hall Park, Delafield Avenue Side, Lyndhurst, NJ
- More info: https://www.lyndhurstnj.org
South Bergen County finally gets its own Saturday market with Lyndhurst’s Town Hall Park location.

Rutherford runs a two-day-a-week market in Lincoln Park, making it the most accessible market in Bergen County for mid-week shoppers. The Saturday market opens at 8 AM — one of the earliest in the county. Lincoln Park is a beautiful setting, and the location pairs naturally with a weekend morning walk or jog. See the Wednesday listing below for the weekday hours.
Sunday Markets
Ramsey Farmers Market
- When: Year-round — May through November: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM | December through April: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM | Sundays
- Where: Erie Plaza Train Station, 2 W Main St, Ramsey, NJ 07446
- More info: https://www.ramseyfarmersmarket.org
Ramsey is the anchor of the Bergen County farmers market circuit — open every single Sunday, all year. During peak season, the vendor lineup is exceptional: artisan breads, gourmet cheeses, homemade pasta, raw honey, pasture-raised meats, fresh fish, olive oil, wine, and seasonal produce. If you’re new to the local market and want to get started, start here. Arrive before 10 AM for the best selection.
Ridgewood Farmers Market
- When: Sundays, June 28 through November 1, 2026 | 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM

- More info: https://members.ridgewoodchamber.com/events
Organized by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, this market runs in the train lot on the west side of downtown — easy walking distance from Ridgewood’s restaurant row. A tight, curated lineup: fresh produce, local honey, pickles, specialty cheeses, baked goods, and seasonal vendors rotate through the summer. Pair it with a coffee stop downtown for a solid Sunday morning out. Questions? Call the Chamber at 201-445-2600.
Glen Rock Farmers Market
- When: Sundays, June 24 through November 18, 2026 | 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Where: 1 Harding Plaza, Glen Rock, NJ
- More info: http://www.grfarmersmarket.com
Glen Rock’s market occupies a prime downtown spot and leans into what a community farmers market should feel like — local farmers, artisan makers, and a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to stay. This is one of the better picnic-and-browse setups in the county. Pick up produce, grab something prepared, and find a spot in the nearby park to enjoy it.
Harrington Park Farmers Market
- When: Sundays, August 9 through October 11, 2026 | 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Where: Hoelscher Field, Tappan Road, Harrington Park, NJ
- More info: https://www.harringtonparknj.gov/resident/calendar
Harrington Park’s market runs the shorter back half of the season — August through mid-October — making it a great late-summer and fall addition to your Sunday routine in northern Bergen County. Smaller and community-focused, it’s worth pairing with a loop through the area on your way to or from another market stop.
Wednesday Markets
Rutherford Farmers Market
- When: Wednesdays, July 1 through October 31, 2026 | 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (also Saturdays — see above)
- Where: Lincoln Park, 6 Highland Cross, Rutherford, NJ
- More info: https://www.rutherfordboronj.com/resident/farmers-market
The Wednesday session at Lincoln Park runs a longer day than most Bergen County markets — 9 AM to 4 PM gives you almost any window to stop in. Combined with the Saturday market, Rutherford gives residents two chances per week to shop local from July through October. It’s a genuinely useful setup for busy households.
Fair Lawn Farmers Market
- When: Wednesdays, June through October 2026 | 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Where: Fair Lawn Arboretum & Bird Sanctuary, Fair Lawn Ave (between Well Dr & Radburn Rd), Fair Lawn, NJ 07410
The setting here is hard to beat — a farmers’ market tucked inside the Fair Lawn Arboretum, one of the quieter green spaces in the county. Circle Brook Farm runs a regular tailgate stand with NJ Fresh produce. It’s a slower-paced market, which is actually the appeal. If the weekend markets feel like a sprint, Wednesday at the Arboretum feels like a reset.
Thursday Markets
River Edge Farmers Market
- When: Thursdays, May 14 through September 2026 | 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
- Where: 215 Continental Ave (parking lot behind River Edge Public Library), River Edge, NJ 07661
- More info: https://www.riveredgenj.org/riveredgefarmersmarket
River Edge packs a lot of personality into its Thursday afternoon market behind the public library. Alstede Farms brings the produce; Hackensack Brewing lets you order beer online by noon Thursday and pick it up at the market that evening (that alone is worth the trip); Jersey Pickles, The Empanada Lady, and The Ice Cream Lady of NJ round out a lineup that feels less like a produce run and more like a Thursday evening event. Instagram: @riveredgefarmersmarket.
River Vale Farmers Market
- When: Thursdays, May 14 through November 5, 2026 | 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Where: Town Hall Parking Lot, adjacent to tennis courts, 406 Rivervale Rd, River Vale, NJ 07675
- More info: https://www.rivervalenj.org/o/trv/page/farmers-market
River Vale’s market runs the longest Thursday season in the county — straight through the first week of November. The early-afternoon start (1 PM) makes it accessible to remote workers and retirees, and the location behind the town hall gives it a genuine neighborhood feel. A loyal local following has made this one of the more consistent weekday markets in northern Bergen.
Teaneck Farmers Market
- When: Thursdays, May through October 2026 | 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Where: Cedar Lane Municipal Parking Lot, corner of Garrison Ave & Beverly Rd, Teaneck, NJ 07666
- More info: https://www.facebook.com/TeaneckFarmersMarket/
Cedar Lane is one of Bergen County’s most vibrant and diverse commercial corridors, and the Thursday farmers market fits right in. Noon to 6 PM is the most generous window of any county market — you can swing by after work, during lunch, or mid-afternoon. Strong produce vendors, fresh bread, and specialty goods make this a weekday staple for central and eastern Bergen residents. Questions: call 201-907-0493.
Cresskill Farmers Market
When: Thursdays, June 4 through October 22, 2026 | 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM | Rain or Shine | Free Parking
Where: Cresskill Public Library Parking Lot, 53 Union Avenue, Cresskill, NJ
More info: cresskillboro.com
A newer addition to the Bergen County Thursday market circuit, Cresskill’s market runs in the library parking lot right in the heart of town. The free parking and rain-or-shine commitment make it a reliable weekly stop — no excuses to skip it. At 11 AM to 4 PM it hits the perfect overlap between lunchtime and the afternoon, making it one of the more accessible weekday options in the eastern Bergen area.
Friday Markets
Englewood Farmers Market
- When: Fridays, June through October 2026 | 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Where: Depot Square Park, corner of N Van Brunt St & Demarest Ave, Englewood, NJ 07631
- More info: https://englewoodfarmersmarket.org
Englewood’s market runs one of the longest days in the county — 11 AM to 6 PM in Depot Square Park, which is a natural gathering point in downtown Englewood. Farm-fresh produce, eggs, honey, gluten-free options, and specialty goods make this a strong end-of-week stop before the weekend. The Friday timing means it’s the last chance to shop before Saturday markets open.
Bergen County Farm Stands Worth the Drive
Not every great local produce experience happens at a weekly market. Bergen County has a handful of working farms with on-site stands that are worth making a dedicated trip for — especially once you realize what you’ve been missing at the grocery store.
Abma’s Farm — Wyckoff, NJ
When: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM | Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM | Closed Sundays
- Where: 700 Lawlins Rd, Wyckoff, NJ 07481
- More info: abmasfarm.com
Five generations and over 90 years in — Abma’s is Bergen County’s only working produce, egg, and meat farm, and it shows. The centerpiece is a 200-year-old Dutch barn converted into a full farm market stocked with produce from their own fields, pasture-raised beef and pork, eggs from on-site chickens, raw honey, homemade specialties, and baked goods from a scratch bakery running daily. The greenhouses are worth a walk through, even if you’re not buying plants. There’s also a petting zoo open year-round, U-Pick events through the season, a CSA program, and a Tomasello Winery tasting room on site — which makes it one of the more complete farm experiences in the entire region. Follow @abmasfarm on Instagram for what’s fresh each week.
Stokes Farm — Old Tappan, NJ
- When: Thursday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM | Closed Sunday through Wednesday
- Where: 23 DeWolf Rd, Old Tappan, NJ 07675
- More info: stokesfarm.com
Technically just over the Bergen County line in Old Tappan, Stokes Farm has been part of this community since 1873 — six generations and over 150 years of farming. Their specialty is herbs, and the variety here puts any grocery store to shame: lemon verbena, anise hyssop, chocolate mint, savory, and more rotate through the season alongside fresh vegetables, honey, eggs, jams, baked goods, and cider doughnuts. Stokes was one of the original 12 farms to join the NYC Greenmarket system back in 1976 — that kind of pedigree means they know exactly what they’re doing. The Thursday through Saturday hours make it a workable weekday stop for southern Bergen County residents.
Demarest Farm — Hillsdale, NJ
- When: Monday and Thursday, 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM | April through December
- Where: 244 Wierimus Rd, Hillsdale, NJ 07642
Demarest Farm runs an extended-season stand direct from the source — no middlemen, peak-season produce brought straight to northern Bergen County twice a week. For residents of Hillsdale, Park Ridge, Woodcliff Lake, and surrounding towns, this is the most direct connection to genuinely local food available. They also run tailgate stands at regional markets throughout the season — follow their social media for weekly updates on what’s in.
What You’ll Find at Bergen County Farmers Markets
First-timers are usually surprised by how much more there is than produce. Here’s what’s typically available across the county circuit:
- Jersey Fresh Produce: Asparagus and strawberries in early June, heirloom tomatoes and corn through July and August, apples and squash by September. The season builds week by week — if you’re going in May, the lineup will look very different by Labor Day.
- Artisan and Specialty Foods: Homemade bread, handmade pasta, gourmet pickles, local honey, specialty cheeses, jams, olive oils, and smoked meats. Vendors at markets like Ramsey and River Edge are consistently exceptional. These sell out — shop early.
- Prepared Foods: Empanadas, kettle corn, ice cream, baked goods, fresh-squeezed juices, coffee. River Edge’s Thursday lineup is especially strong here, with brewery pickup and multiple food vendors running alongside produce stands.
- Artisan Goods and Crafts: Franklin Lakes’ market has a particularly strong artisan component. Handmade jewelry, candles, skincare, and local gifts round out the vendor mix at many markets throughout the season.
Bergen County’s markets also reflect the county’s remarkable diversity — you’ll find culinary traditions from Italian, Korean, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European food cultures represented across the vendor lineup from market to market.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Season
- Arrive in the first 30 minutes. The best bread, the ripest produce, and the most popular specialty vendors sell out early — especially at Ramsey and Ridgewood.
- Bring a tote and cash. Most vendors take cards, but cash moves faster at smaller stands and is appreciated by artisan vendors.
- Use the Thursday markets. River Edge, River Vale, and Teaneck all run solid weekday markets, and they’re dramatically less crowded than on Sunday. If you work from home or have a flexible schedule, Thursday afternoons are a quality-of-life upgrade.
- Follow your favorite vendors on Instagram. Many vendors post what they’re bringing that week — it’s the best way to know whether the thing you want will be there before you make the trip.
- Plan a morning around it. Ridgewood’s Sunday market pairs naturally with breakfast at one of the area’s best spots — and the walk from the train lot through downtown is genuinely pleasant. See our brunch guide for ideas.
