 OPENING DAY OUTDOORS! We are moving to our outdoor home this week at Litchfield Center School parking lot. COVID restrictions have been relaxed so we will NOT require masks or one way traffic flow. We still encourage folks to enter the market from the walkway to the lower parking lot. We are no longer asking customers to "sign in". However, we would like to collect zip codes since this gives the market information regarding where our customers come from - and helps us with marketing efforts as well as grant requests. The market will not be serving food or beverages. Individual vendors will make their own decisions re: sampling products.
Most of our indoor vendors are moving outdoors with us. We are welcoming back others and new vendors. Here's what's happening that's different this summer at the market. See below for a list of vendors participating this week.
Our recipe this week is Spring Onion Pie. Pick up the onions from Vibrant Farm, the eggs from March Farm, the cheese from Cato Corner. We look forward to seeing you at the market this week - outdoors at the Center School parking lot.
