Dear All,
I can't thank you all enough for supporting your local farms and artisan food producers by shopping each week at the market. It has been a very tough year for the whole country with the economy, but the weather we've had in the Northeast has just added insult to injury, especially to growers! So thank-you again, for coming out rain or shine (or cloudy!) to buy good, local food from people you've got to know and trust.

This lovely photo of some of our seasonal fresh vegetables was taken on the set of Channel 8's "Connecticut Style" last week. Check back later for the recipes!

Here's who will be at the farmers' market this week, Wednesday, 3:30pm - 7pm rain or shine:

Gambardella Fresh Fish
Wave Hill Bread
Cheesecake to a T
Snooty Foods - gourmet dips, spreads, pickles
Cato Corners homestead cheeses (cheeses made with milk from their own herd of Jersey cows)
Kathy's Cookies
Rose's Berry Farms - berries, produce
Beltane Farm Goat Cheese
Pizza on the Grill (made to order)
Three Sisters Farms - honey, beeswax candles, lipbalms and other specialties (will be back on Aug. 26th)
Hidden Brook Gardens - certified organic produce
Chaplin Farms - produce and fruit
Roby's Organic - garlic, specialty potatoes, produce
Tails Will Wag - handmade dog treats
Lemonade Ladies - fresh squeezed lemonade
Farm to Hearth pizza in the beehive oven will be back next week and every other week.

Music will be provided by volunteer acoustic duo Chris and Howie, who will be playing favorites from the 70's, 80's and more!! Thanks guys!


Woodmont Farmers' Market August 5th

The Watutsi Kings entertained all the farmers' market shoppers with some great music. Singing sisters Juliana and Claire joined in the fun with this little ditty.......

Yet again, the weather co-operated and kept away the wet stuff, but boy it was hot! Some if us walked down to the beach after the market closed at 7pm to go for a nice cool swim!

National Farmers' Market Week This Week

It's Market Day today and National Farmers' Market Week

We have been very lucky with the weather for the farmers' market - in fact our mantra is "the sun always shines on market day"!! Last week it rained right before we opened, then stopped. However, it carried on raining everywhere else, so people thought we were rained out. We are here rain or shine and always have a good time. If you don't believe me, take a look at the video below!

Listed below is who will be coming this week. We hope you make it over. We have live music by Michael Knox and the Watutsi Kings for your listening pleasure!
