    Piscopo: Visiting Your Local Farmers’ Market

    Piscopo: Visiting Your Local Farmers’ Market
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    Connecticut has over 100 farmers’ markets and their popularity mirrors their benefits.

    At any local farmers’ market, you can find fresh products, friendly farmers who are the face behind the food you are buying, and a community gathering place for everyone to enjoy.
    By supporting local farmers’ markets, not only are you getting the freshest possible produce, but you are also supporting our local farmers and local economy. With that in mind, here are some farmers’ markets to visit in our area:

    Thomaston Farmers’ Market Thursdays 2:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. July 3rd-October 30th Seth Thomas Park, South Main Street
    Burlington Farmers Market Burlington Congregational Church, 268 Spielman Hwy / Route 4 Fridays, 3-6 p.m., July-October
    Litchfield Hills Farm-Fresh Market Center School Parking Lot, Woodruff Lane Saturdays, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. June-October
    Farmer’s markets are open well into the fall season, with a variety of fruits and vegetables available for sale. It’s a great activity to share with family and friends, so be sure to shop local and enjoy!
