Parsippany Farmers Market Makes Comeback Under New Leadership

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Summer is just around the corner, and so is the reopening of the annual Parsippany Farmers Market—though this year, it might look a little different.

The township revived the farmers market concept in 2023 after several attempts over the years to establish a weekly market for residents to purchase locally grown and raised products from New Jersey farms and specialty vendors. Previous efforts, however, struggled to gain traction.

The latest iteration of the weekly market has quickly gained popularity among residents and is returning for its third year, now under new leadership.

In a social media announcement, Hear Here, LLC, in partnership with the Township of Parsippany, revealed that the Parsippany Farmers Market will kick off in June. The market will take place every weekend, providing an exciting weekend destination for families, foodies, and shoppers of all ages.

“We are thrilled to bring this amazing new market to Parsippany,” said Jenn Perkel, Market Manager and founder of Hear Here, LLC. “This is more than a place to shop—it’s a space to celebrate community, support local small businesses, and create a community hub to meet with friends and family.”

The last two versions of the farmers market were organized by Megabyte Events.

This year, organized by Hear Here, LLC, the revamped market will feature a curated selection of farm-fresh produce, gourmet foods, handmade crafts and unique artisan goods. Shoppers can look forward to everything from fresh fruits and vegetables and small-batch baked goods to handcrafted soaps, original artwork and more.

In addition to shopping, visitors will enjoy live music, seasonal activities and occasional themed events, all designed to foster a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Local nonprofit organizations and community groups will also be invited to participate, making the market a true reflection of Parsippany’s vibrant and diverse community spirit, officials said.

Vendors interested in participating are encouraged to visit www.hearhereevents.com to learn more and apply. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses looking to support the market and connect with the local community.
