Ellington Farmers' Market Begins Winter Season at YMCA
Over 25 vendors with locally grown and produced foods and artisan wares from 2-4PM at the YMCA, 11 Pinney St. Local and Fresh!
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 every other Saturday 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.
