ABOUT US
Mercado Popular is a up and coming community food hub focused on bringing fresh, healthy food to the downtown Hartford area, working with local farmers to inform people about growing, purchasing, and eating locally grown food. Mercado is built by the Hartford community and for the Hartford community.
Mercado Popular offers two ways to enjoy fresh, healthy food from local farms.
SHOPPING With MERCADO
We’re putting an end to the days of buying a pre-packaged meal from the convenience store. Have access to a variety of high-quality seasonal produce available for purchase no matter when you shop with us.
Mercado specializes in fresh, local food and healthy products. We also stock pantry items, dairy, meat, and eggs, so you can do all your shopping at Mercado and know you have healthy, nourishing meals all week long. Soon you will be able to shop with us, in- store. Our Community Food Hub will be Opening Soon!
Mercado Popular currently offers a full-service Community Supported Agriculture program offering fresh fruits, vegetables, breads, pantry items, dairy and more. We are currently accepting applications for the 2025 Summer Harvest Box Season. Delivery available to Hartford residents.
​
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way to get a variety of healthy food each week while supporting local farms. For our CSA program, enrolled farmers deliver their produce, and our staff lovingly packs a box for each CSA member.
No week will ever be the same, and you’ll likely get foods you’ve never tried before. We offer standard and vegetarian CSA packages. Due to the variable nature of the growing season, it’s important to realize that your selections may vary.
