It was at another location but moved to this location due to some construction happening at the other location. We went towards the end on one Saturday. There were a few vendors selling all types of items. I love these markets because you can find a variety of home/handmade goods. Definitely worth a stop one Saturday!

Fresh native berries, cherries and snap peas, a sweet pup to greet us, and nostalgic honey sticks. This farm is a special place. We browsed the wonderful selection of homemade goods and purchased a few ready to go items on our way out. The Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, and fresh salsa were all a perfect treat for lunch the next day. Oh yes and the strawberry fritters are a MUST. Pro tip* bring a cooler with ice so you can take some meal prep foods home! You'll be happy you did.

Oh no, that would have been too ordinary. Instead, they kicked off the market with a baguette slicing ceremony! They are brand new and are opened from June 19 to October 23, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You'll find them in the Town Hall parking lot. Vendors listed on the website include a Wellness booth, farm and bakery stands, Italian Ice, seafood, mushrooms, sustainable animal products, Vodka sauce (fantastic), cheese, salsa, coffee, I'm not sure I saw all of them there in the heat yesterday, so maybe there will be more as we move away from summer into the fall. We picked up two ears of corn from Halls Farm in Simsbury and had them last night with dinner, and yes, they were very good. Parking is free and super easy in the massive town hall parking lot.

""Buying food at the farmer's market Stand in a line, people…read moreeverywhere" (Neil Young) We had a very enjoyable visit to the Southington Farmer's Market yesterday. We found it right on the Village Green where the annual Apple Festival starts. Parking was a non-factor, there were spots all over the immediate area and we snagged a prime spot on the corner of Main and Center Streets. Today was the first day they were open for the season, and the market was full of vendors, and everything seemed to be running like a well-oiled machine. We arrived shortly after the 3:00 opening and everything was already fully stocked and set up. The market was perfectly sized. Not too small, not overpoweringly huge, just about perfect. A leisurely stroll through the booths and stands will take around 30-40 minutes, I loved how the booths were adequately spaced apart so there were no logjams or crowds. The only real crowd we encountered was at Wave Hill Breads with a ten-person deep line of drooling customers. We finished our visit with some Wave Hill purchases. Some of the main categories of vendors included fruits, vegetables, pastries, breads, sauces, salsas, jerkies, guacamole, pizzas for one, soaps, flowers, crafts, straw baskets, honeys and syrups. All of those were enjoyed among a backdrop of live music. We picked up a container of great guacamole from Pop's Famous Guacamole, a wonderful jar of salsa from Angela's Kitchen, two adorable "Eight Ball" squashes from one of the produce vendors, and a bag full of goodness from Wave Hill Breads. Our Wave Hill Haul included a delicious eight-inch cheese pizza, a hunk of Three Cheese Monkey bread, and a beautiful Vanilla Citrus Scone. The vendors were all super friendly and chatty, and the whole afternoon had a very nice community/neighbor-like vibe. We loved every aspect of our visit to the Southington Farmer's Market. PRO TIP The Farmer's Market is scheduled for Fridays from 3-6PM at the Southington Town Green, beginning on Friday, June 20th, and ending on September 26th.

I was able to check it out a bunch of times and it was a nice selection of fruits, veggies, and homemade goodies, including yummy pickles in a barrel and fresh cheeses. I was able to find some unique veggies as well, purple beans and Mexican Gherkins which look like baby watermelons and taste like tiny sour cucumbers, these are my all time favorite, but go early because they will sell out!

Unlike other local markets that only have hours suitable for SAHMs, they have reasonable hours; open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. As for produce, they are many vendors, but hey, it makes shopping easy. There is a baked goods table and the only table worth stopping at is the Berger Produce where I bought a pint of blueberries, half a pint of yellow tomatoes, squash, kale, and lemon cucumbers. I ate the tomatoes and blueberries in one day. There is also a scent table and a doggie treat station. The market is on the front lawn of the New Britain Youth Museum, but parking can be tight if it gets busy.

This is a great winter market, with just about everything you need to start your week right…read more Meats, cheeses, baked goods, BBQ and hot sauces, teas, jewelry, candy, soaps, honey, winter veggies and cold storage fruit, and local artisan clothes can all be acquired at this market in one fell swoop. Most recently I picked up some loose leaf artisan tea from Whole Harmony, which I hand sewed into heart shape tea bags for my Valentine. Total win. Add a little Stonewall Apiary honey to mix, and boom, perfect cup of tea. Seriously though, you can't beat a market that sometimes has baby goats and always has a stellar list of weekly vendors, and a great mix of visiting vendors every single Sunday. Definitely check it out!

I had never been to the Winterfresh Market, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It was definitely nowhere near as fun as the CFRM where one can buy lunch sit outside and take in the scenery, but it did offer a lot of the same products. We make a quick spin around and then left. We are addicted to the kettle korn, so we will be back but it won't be as frequent as our trips to the CRFM over the summer.

The food I've gotten has been fresh and delicious in my recipes. Some vendors are organic others are just local. Either way local is best.
