Rutgers Community Farmers Market

Rutgers Community Farmers Market We, Rutgers Cooperative Extension, are proud to partner Johnson & Johnson in our commitment to making a difference in this great city.

Spring Semester markets are taking place February-April 2026:
Busch Student Center (Int’l Student Lounge)
604 Bartholomew Rd
Piscataway
Feb 5 & 19, March 5 & 12, April 2 & 16 The New Brunswick Community Farmers’ Market strives to support the development of a sustainable community by bringing healthy food from local farms to families and households across the city. Our mission is to instill healthy

eating habits by focusing on nutritional issues that plague our community, and creating positive habits that can last a lifetime. Furthermore, our focus is to improve access to fresh and healthy foods in the community where access is most limited, and to facilitate environmental quality, health promotion, and community developments that empower and strengthen the capacity of small regional farmers.

Fresh produce tastes even better when you save while shopping! 🥕

Market Bucks can be used like cash for fresh fruits and vegetables at any RCFM farmers market. You can earn them through our Market Card or by joining special events, raffles, and pop-up challenges throughout the season.

Here’s how to earn stamps on your Market Card:
🌱 Visit any RCFM market
🌱 Participate at a community table
🌱 Bring a friend
🌱 Answer survey questions
🌱 Follow us on Instagram

Collect any 7 stamps to receive $10 in Market Bucks!

Remember: Market Bucks are for fresh, unprepared food only, and no change will be given, so use the full value when you shop.

Stop by the Welcome Table at our markets to pick up your Market Card and learn more! 💚
