Farmer's Markets

In Connecticut, there are approximately 102 farmers' markets scattered throughout the state. The demand for farmers' markets is increasing, and each year there are a number of requests to establish new ones. The markets provide a benefit for farmers and consumers alike. They provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their crops, and they provide a convenient one stop shopping facility for consumers to purchase fresh, high-quality produce and other farm specialty items.--from The Connecticut Department of Agriculture web-site.

There is not yet a list of Farmer's markets for summer 2008. The usual time and location for New Canaan is Saturday from 10-2 in The Center School parking lot (right across the street from the library!)

While waiting for the start of the season, here are two books you might find interesting:

The farmers' market guide to fruit

The farmers' market guide to vegetables
