Cook’s Market is located at the entrance to Rutgers Gardens at 130 Log Cabin Road in New Brunswick. The market will re-open for the season on Friday, May 16, 2025.
The Rutgers Gardens Farmers Market began as a student-led project. More than a decade later, the market moved into its new home, Cook’s Market. Today the market features a wide variety of vendors, including the Rutgers Gardens Student Farm, which demonstrates land stewardship by practicing sustainable growing practices and providing our communities with quality, nutritious food.
Sign up for the email newsletter to see which vendors will be at the market each week, and follow the Cook’s Market Instagram account.
The market vendors specialize in fresh, locally grown and made-with-love products such as fruits and vegetables from New Jersey farms, sourdough breads, sweet and savory treats, honeys and maple syrups, craft spirits, artisanal mushrooms, grassfed meats and brown eggs, live plants, pickles and marinated vegetables, ready-to-eat foods, hot sauces and jams, and much more. Help support small businesses and local farms and enjoy everything in season at Cook’s Market!
For information on how to become a vendor, please contact Lucille Tang at lt606@njaes.rutgers.edu.
In summer 2024, Rutgers Dietetic Interns tabled at Cook’s Market showcasing produce from the Rutgers Gardens Student Farm through creative, culturally-diverse recipes developed by Rutgers Nutritional Sciences undergraduates and graduate students.
