Music this Week
Aaron Cooper
''Cooper plays light, airy acoustic tunes that draw inspiration from classic song-smiths of yore (Paul Simon and the Kinks, particularly) without owing too much debt to anyone. It's classic guitar pop-craft.'' - Independent Clauses
''Cooper makes quality folk/rock/pop tunes that sound like they could have come from any time. He's an artist who knows his sound and just how to dial it in.'' - The Modern Folk Music Of America

The Market is Matching SNAP Dollars
HOW? Present your EBT card at the Market Booth where you can request any dollar amount to be debited from your card. That amount will be given to you in the form of SNAP coins redeemable at the Ellington Farmers Market only. The market will match the amount of snap coins up to $20 per week. We deduct $20 from you EBT and give you $40 in SNAP coins to spend. This program will last until the $2000 budget is depleted.
