Summit Farmers Market

Summit Farmers Market pairs a weekly Sunday shopping trip with the G.I.F.T. Program, which continues a 14-year mission to provide nutritious food to people in need and collected more than 13,000 pounds of donations last year. The market runs in Summit from April 19 through December 20, 2026, giving downtown a steady Sunday market presence across the main growing and outdoor season. Its vendor roster stretches from farms and creamery stalls to coffee roasters, florists, pickles, jerky, tea, and prepared foods, so the market reads as both a fresh-food stop and a broad specialty-food lineup.

Why it matters locally

The G.I.F.T. Program is the clearest local stake here: it continues its mission to provide nutritious food to those in need, and G.R.A.C.E. partners with the program so donations reach families on a weekly basis. That gives the market a direct food-donation role beyond weekly commerce.

The market also sits within Summit Downtown, Inc., a nonprofit organization representing retailers and businesses in the downtown Special Improvement District. In practice, that ties the Sunday market to a broader downtown organization rather than treating it as a stand-alone event. The schedule itself is consistent, with the market running every Sunday, rain or shine, from April to December.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans wide: named farms, dairy, seafood, baked goods, beverages, pantry items, florists, and pet-focused sellers all appear on the roster. That range makes the market feel less like a narrow produce run and more like a place to piece together groceries, gifts, and ready-to-eat extras from distinct stands.

Know before you go

Parking rules are the detail most likely to shape your visit. The market is set in Park & Shop Lot #1 at the corner of DeForest Avenue and Woodland Avenue, and customers enter and exit at the vehicle entrance on DeForest Avenue. Recommended parking includes the K Lot behind the CVS and Park & Shop Lot #2 in the next block, while the CVS Lot is specifically off-limits for market parking.

The site also notes a no-dogs policy and says restrooms are not available, two details that can change how long you plan to stay. For market-day issues within 48 hours of the event, the on-site manager is Mario Bochna.
