 BRAGGING RIGHTS! Thank you to everyone who voted for our farmers' market as "the best in Litchfield County " in Litchfield Magazine's contest. We have wonderful supporters and appreciate all of you. If we can be doing something more, or better, please let us know.
On a totally different note, there is sad news in our farming community. Carole Gauger, co-owner with her husband Mark of Maple View Farm (one of our indoor vendors) passed away on 2/11 after losing her battle with cancer. We will miss her smiling face and positive outlook on life. Our thoughts are with Mark and her family. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/hartfordcourant/obituary.aspx?pid=1977 Remember our winter schedule is NOT every week. Our next market will be March 6.

SUSTAINABLE TIP OF THE WEEK Given what's going on with the weather, and especially the energy source of supply in Texas, this might be an interesting time to dig into what is sustainable and what is not. Just a thought.  WELCOME DECEMBER We have three markets in December (12/5, 12/12, and 12/19) and then take a break until January. So plan ahead for those non-perishables you want to be sure to have over the holidays. Things of note for this market.
