The wait is almost over — the Mongoose Junction Farmers Market returns on Sunday, November 2, 2025, bringing together local growers, makers, and artisans for another season of community, creativity, and island flavor.

Held on the first Sunday of every month from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the market fills the courtyards and shaded walkways of Mongoose Junction in Cruz Bay, creating one of the most beloved monthly gatherings on St. John.

A New Tradition with Deep Roots

The Mongoose Junction Farmers Market first launched in February 2025, inspired by conversations between the property team and local farmers who wanted more opportunities to sell and share what they grow right here on island. Since then, it’s become a regular highlight on the calendar of St. John — a place where locals and visitors meet, browse, taste, and support the small businesses that keep our community thriving.

Mongoose Junction Property Manager Maggie Day shared that the goal was simple: to create consistent space for local farmers and makers. “It’s helping them increase production because now they know we have a monthly market.”

That consistency has made a difference. Vendors like Bordeaux Botanica, Freeman’s Farm, Tropical Details, and Anysia’s Apothecary bring everything from tropical plants and produce to handmade crafts and aloe-based skincare. Each month brings a slightly different mix — but always the same friendly faces and lively energy.

What You’ll Find

Strolling through Mongoose Junction on market day feels like a snapshot of island life — colorful, welcoming, and full of creativity. Expect to find:

  • Locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs
  • Fresh bread and baked goods
  • Handmade art, jewelry, and home décor
  • Plants, flowers, and tropical greenery
  • Natural skincare and wellness products

Between shopping, you can grab a bite from one of the Junction’s restaurants or coffee spots, explore the boutiques, or simply relax in the shade surrounded by lush landscaping and stone architecture — a signature of this Cruz Bay landmark.

Supporting the Island’s Economy and Spirit

The Mongoose Junction Farmers Market is about more than what’s sold — it’s about connection. For vendors, it’s a chance to share their work and reach new customers. For visitors, it’s a way to discover the island’s creativity firsthand. And for St. John as a whole, it’s a celebration of sustainability, community, and local pride.
