Ellington Farmers' Market Begins 5th Winter Season with over 25 Vendors bringing Locally Grown and Produced Products.

The winter season of the Ellington Farmers' Market will be hosted at the YMCA, 11 Pinney St. from 2-4PM twice monthly through March

The fifth winter season of the Ellington Farmers' kicks off on Saturday November 19th from 2-4 PM at the YMCA, 11 Pinney ST. The winter market organizers credit its success to a following of customers who are now embracing "clean" eating and have made a commitment to support local food growers and entrepreneurs. The market, held on nine Saturdays through March, is a wonderful example of two organizations, the Ellington Farmers' Market Association and the Indian Valley YMCA working together to provide a community supported event. The market hosts over twenty-five vendors bringing locally produced foods including produce, dairy, beef, seafood, pork, poultry, lamb, a wide variety of baked goods, cheeses, greens, honey, specialty sauces, soups and ready to eat items along with selected artisan wares. The market will host a "Holiday Extravaganza" market on Saturday December 17th adding additional vendors bringing a wide variety of local holiday products and gifts.
