Riverview Farmers Market - Jersey City, New Jersey

Riverview Farmer's Market is where 40+ vendors sell food items every Sunday rain or shine. It's where I sell my fruit jams, the second, third, and fourth Sundays. Chef Rene Hewitt's Jams.

Riverview Park Farmer's Market takes place on Sundays, May through November, from 10 am to 2pm. If you come in after 12noon, your selection might be very limited, so I suggest to come in before noon. Riverview Park Farmer's Market has a great selection of fresh veggies, fruits, artisanal breads, baked goods, dog treats, and sweets. Great coffee shop, Modcup Coffee, and an authentic Italian restaurant, Corto, are right across the street! Bon appetit!

Sep 17, 2023 update: the farmers market is in full swing and lovelier than ever. Tons of visitors and a lot of vendors with tents and trucks peppered all over the park.

Riverview Farmers Market will likely be operating out of a different location this year due to the year-long renovation of Riverview-Fisk Park that has just commenced. The renovation is said to be going until February 2021. It’s been reported in the media that while the new location is still not finalized they intend to start operating the market in May, as usually.

Love the Farmer's Market! Always tons of vendors, everyone polite and sweet and willing to answer any questions you may have. You can find bread, premade food, nuts, overnight oats, jam, honey, produce, plants, and pots here (and that's just what I remember off the top of my head). Always lovely to go and see what people have, even if I don't buy anything.
My favorite thing to get is probably plants. I snagged these beauties today, along with the pots.

New this year at the Riverview Farmers Market is Hudson Grinding, an excellent knife sharpening stand. They really put a sharp edge on my old Wustoff chefs knife. It's so sharp, it now cuts through a sheet of paper like butter! I also saw that they sharpen fancy Japanese knives, scissors, hedge clippers, etc. A great addition to my favorite market.

It’s a beautiful market, with plenty of options: live music, taco trucks, 3 different fruit and veggie stands, fresh cheese and pasta as well as frozen homemade meals. They have plant and nut shops, sometimes there’s a pickle vendor. Fresh meat, seafood and hemp: but you aren’t going to save money on produce here.

It’s expensive. You could easily spend $100 on 5 things. They DO have quality items but think Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s prices.

I definitely recommend going to check it out and it’s a nice place that the community gathers.

I personally had absolutely amazing experience at this farmers market. Some of them include availability of fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious homemade breads, muffins and some amazing plant 🪴 outlets. Sundays between 10 am to 2 pm. I suggest to go early to avoid crowd and explore freshness.

This is probably my favorite of the Jersey City Farmers markets. I've been to 3 or 4 others and this one is spacious and has a great variety of veggies, frozen meats, and baked goods!

There are great local vendors. On top of the standard veggies, you also have a fish stand, coffee stands, food trucks, bakeries, snack stands, etc. There's plenty to enjoy, and because it's in this great park, you don't get smashed in with a bunch of other shoppers.

A lovely part of my weekend routine!
