Holiday shopping at the market!

Not only do we have local food for the holidays, we have several local artists and guest vendors with other items for stocking stuffers and more.  And, remember, there's always the option of a gift certificate to the market so the recipient can make their own choices.  See below for what's happening at the market this week at Litchfield Community Center.

​NOTE: Next market, 12/15, will be held at the Forman School.
