YMCA to Host Winter Ellington Farmers' Market

Ellington Winter Farmers’ Market to be Held at the YMCA

The winter season of the Ellington Farmers’ kicks off on Saturday November 18th from 2-4 pm at the YMCA, 11 Pinney ST. The market, held every other Saturday through March, is a wonderful example of two organizations, the Ellington Farmers’ Market and the Indian Valley YMCA working together to provide a community supported event. The market is a non-profit 501c3 dedicated to providing healthy, local food sources to the community along with education on healthy eating. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses up to $20 in SNAP benefits will continue to be matched at each market. Simply present your EBT card at the market table and receive tokens to shop.

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, honey, specialty sauces, soups, ready to eat items and artisan wares. The market will host a “Holiday Extravaganza” market on Saturday December 16th adding additional vendors bringing a wide variety of local holiday products and gifts. Additional programs including chef demonstrations will take place throughout the winter season.

The current market information can be found on their website at www.ellingtonfarmersmarket.com where you can also sign up for the market’s newsletter. Questions can be addressed to ellingtonfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
