Running June through October,
the Coventry Farmers Market is the largest farmers market in the state of Connecticut, with dozens of vendors, many of whom are members of CT NOFA. Our Board Secretary, Janet Heller, went to visit the market recently and documented many of the CT NOFA member farms that were there to represent local organic farms and food. Check out the farms' websites listed in the captions below their photos and pay them or the market a visit. Shopping at a farmers market or visiting a local farm is a great way to spend some time outside on a nice summer's day while getting your grocery shopping done at the same time. It's also a lot of fun for kids!
If you want to learn more about our other member farms and the farmers markets they attend,
check out our listing online. You can also download a PDF of our
Farm and Food Guide, a listing by county of all our member farms, markets, and supporting businesses, complete with descriptions and maps,

The Coventry Market specializes in organic, heirloom, ethnic and gourmet varieties of
fruits and vegetables, and offers grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, milk,
yogurt, smoked bacon, rustic breads, farmstead cheeses, European
pastries, salsa, pesto, fresh herbs, cut flowers, chocolate, fudge,
honey, and maple syrup, and also features the work of local artists and artisans including hemp clothing, goat’s milk soaps, beeswax candles,
stoneware, herbal tinctures, handcrafted beadwork, vintage cotton tote
bags, and handspun yarns.
What a wonderful way to support your local farmers and all the hard work they do to produce healthy, nutritious, and delicious food!
Happy Shopping!

Hi………….. This is a great site.essay term paper
ReplyDeleteProduce from the farmers market isn't more healthy to eat, is it?
ReplyDeleteAn advantage of using the farmers market would be that the produce is fresh. If someone wanted to freeze peaches when they are in season to have them later in the year it might be better to have peaches that are really fresh.
Are there any other reasons that the farmers market is better than the grocery store?
