Nathan Hale Homestead/ Coventry Regional Farmers’ Market

This eastern Connecticut attraction is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The Coventry Farmers’ Market is the largest in the state and one of the best in New England, bringing together artisans; growers of local produce; and makers of cheese, bread, and practically every other kind of food and drink you could want. There are also food trucks, animals, and entertainment.

The market moves indoors in the winter, but on Sundays from June to October, it takes over the spacious grounds of the home built by the family of Connecticut’s State Hero, Revolutionary War spy Nathan Hale. References to Hale’s short life and bravery in death can be found all over the state, but touring the Homestead is a quick and entertaining introduction to the domestic customs of his time.

The Coventry Farmers’ Market is the largest farmers’ market in Connecticut. It takes place every Sunday from 11 am until 2 pm from June through October, and is held at the Nathan Hale Homestead. The Coventry Farmers’ Market is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday in Connecticut. The market offers fresh produce, local meat, eggs, specialty products, pickled vegetables, and jams so you can do your shopping for the week. Spend a whole day at the market by enjoying amazing meals or snacks from food trucks, locally roasted coffee from booths, and dance to the free live music. Arrive early as the parking
