Mother Nature is giving us a break from the severe cold this week and fortunately you can get a glimpse of some “green” if you come to the market early and purchase fresh salad fixings from our vendors who are braving the winter weather and actually growing greens! Our usual fabulous variety of produce, dairy, bakery, meat, fish and fresh produce will be available this week as well as sumptuous prepared food items to take with you for Saturday night’s dinner. Easy Pickins Farm will be bringing information on their summer CSA programs. Don’t forget to vote for us as your favorite market in Hartford Best of 2016. voters poll.
