Hoboken's Upton Farmers Market takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hoboken and Jersey City farmers markets are open, and more are on the way as residents embrace warmer weather and search for fresh produce and delicious baked goods.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, outdoor farmers markets provide a lower risk shopping option for shoppers and the community-at-large during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges to food security in the United States,” states the CDC. “Access to healthy food options and nutrition are an important part of overall physical and mental health.  Across the United States, farmers markets have been named an essential service because of their role in supporting local farms and providing communities access to fresh, healthy food during the pandemic.”
