History of the Trenton Farmers’ Market  
Please click on pictures to see enlarged copy and click Back button to return to history.

                     In the early 1900’s, a group of farmers came by horse and buggy to Trenton to sell their produce along what is now Route #29.  They came in horse and buggy and traveled from all over our Garden State.  In 1939 the farmers incorporated into The Trenton Market Growers Co-op Association, Inc. and purchased land on Spruce Street in Lawrence Township.  They did this in anticipation of the City of Trenton needing the area they occupied to build roads for motor vehicles. 

            In June, 1948 they proudly opened the existing Market on Spruce Street.  Outdoor stalls gave way to an indoor facility with overhead doors to give the Market its open, outdoor look as soon as the beautiful weather comes. The Market branched into the sale of other foods such as fresh meats, baked goods, poultry, plants, flowers, decorations, jewelry and even apparel to provide a full complement of shopping for customer convenience. 

            The Market is a year round tradition for thousands of shoppers from all over New Jersey and neighboring states.  Ethnic specialties and holiday items have made the Market a special attraction to the area.

            We are an active part of the JERSEY FRESH program which give us the pride to proclaim the quality and freshness of the produce grown by the farmer who is selling at the Market.

            Our bake shops feature fresh baked bread and cakes etc.  Our meats, cheese, seafood, gourmet items, nuts and candies are all of the finest quality.  Thousands of shoppers stroll the aisles each season and keep coming back for the taste and freshness.

            Our tenants are friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the items that they offer for sale and will help you with your planting, cooking or just snacking needs.
