What’s the next best thing to growing your own fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, and more? Why, buying them fresh from a local farmers market, of course! Lucky for us, they can be found in virtually every city and town throughout Fairfield County, with many offering lots more than produce – like baked goods, jams, honey, maple syrup, cheese, eggs, meats, home-made gifts and even dog treats. Farmers markets offer their bounty throughout the year; but autumn is ‘peak’ season for crisp apples and, of course, pumpkins! Here are some notable farmers markets in the area and the days they are open – but keep your eyes peeled for more:
