Spring/Summer Farmer's Market
The Co-op Farmers Market is sponsored by area farmers and the Newark Natural Foods Cooperative. The market meets every Sunday, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the front parking lot of Newark Natural Foods. The season runs from the first Sunday in May to the Sunday before Thanksgiving of each year.
At the Co-op Farmers Market, you will be able to: shop for local foods and handcrafted goods; talk about food with real farmers who grow it; see many friends and make new ones there-it is one of the most popular places in Newark on Sundays; and enjoy live entertainment by local musicians. Stop by on Sunday and meet our vendors!

Our Mission
The mission of the Co-op Farmers Market is to provide the opportunity for the Newark community to come together and enjoy shopping for a variety of locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and plants—harvested sustainably with natural and organic farming methods—baked goods, prepared foods, art, handicrafts, and other locally produced items.
The market goal is to:
♦ Provide an opportunity to "buy local" produce
♦ Support farm families, agriculture, and the environment
♦ Preserve the small town feel of the Newark community
♦ Help build a sense of community and raise awareness on environmental and health issues
