Holiday Extravaganza at Ellington Farmers' Market Saturday Dec. 19th

This Saturday, Dec. 19, features the last Ellington Farmers’ Market before Christmas, and we have expanded our offerings to assist with your shopping and holiday preparation needs.

Come early and shop for fresh, delicious local foods, homegrown meats, dairy products, veggies, fruits, holiday plants and gorgeous artisan jewelry and crafts to complete your holiday shopping.

A Farmers’ Market Gift Certificate or items from various vendors to make a basket of goodies would make a unique gift for that favorite person for whom you still need a gift.

Don’t settle for ordinary! Join us this Saturday for all the festive fun at the market, from 2-4 p.m., at the YMCA, 11 Pinney St., Ellington.
