Since 1998 the Old Saybrook Farmer’s Market has offered Connecticut grown or made products and produce to an appreciative crowd, growing from two vendors in the first season to 24 in 2013.
Open every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. through Oct. 30, vendors supply an abundance of high quality produce picked only hours before the market opens, along with breads and bakery items baked fresh that day.
Also available are organic and pesticide free fruits and vegetables, local honey, free range eggs, beef, pork and fish, award-winning jams, relishes, guacamole, salsa, pesto, specialty sauces, hummus and more – all hand made with local ingredients.
There’s more than just food at the Old Saybrook Farmer’s Market. Fine crafted items such as hand woven linens, hand dyed yarn, local wool, hand made clothes, bags, soaps, pottery, a variety of plants and flowers and more, are valuable additions to this market.
On Saturdays, grab a cup of fresh roasted coffee and a delicious bakery item or a hand scooped Italian ice while relaxing and enjoying live music performed by artists such as Glenn Roth, an innovative fingerstyle guitarist and folk artist Geoff Kaufman to name a few.
There are demonstrations scheduled from the local martial arts studio Middlesex Tang Soo and other craftsmen and women. Check the website for more details at www.oldsaybrookfarmersmarket.com.
