Connecticut Farmer's Markets
From the www. CT.gov website:
there are 87 farmers' markets scattered throughout the state of Connecticut. The demand for farmers' markets is increasing, and each year there are a number of requests to establish new ones. The markets provide a benefit for farmers and consumers alike. They provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their crops, and they provide a convenient one stop shopping facility for consumers to purchase fresh, high-quality produce and other farm specialty items.
The farmers markets are affiliated with a program to provide seniors (Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program) and women with children who are nutritionally at risk (The Women, Infants, and Children Farmers' Market Nutrition Program) with nutritious fruits and vegetables and to expand local market for Connecticut Grown products. The program is authorized by Public Act 94-187. The seniors program is a state-private partnership, and the women and infants' program is authorized and co-funded by Congress. Program participants number about 48,000 WIC clients and 15,000 Senior recipients and receive $15 worth of vouchers that can be used at designated farmers' markets for the purchase of Connecticut grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Participating farmers are reimbursed for the face value of the vouchers at any state financial institution.
If you would like more information on market locations, crop availability or if you are a farmer and would like to participate in the farmers' markets call Rick Macsuga, Connecticut Department of Agriculture at (860) 713-2544.
