🌾 National Farmers Market Week 🌾
This week, we're celebrating the farmers who make the Farmers Market at the Guilford Fairgrounds a destination for the very best our local agricultural community has to offer.
A special thank you to River Ridge Certified Organic Farm, Dondero Orchards, Half-Mile Acre Farm, Maple Grove Farm, Marco's Farm, and Wellcomb Home Honey. Their dedication, hard work, and passion for farming provide our market with the season's freshest fruits, vegetables, honey, and other local products.
These farms play a vital role in preserving our agricultural heritage, supporting our local economy, and bringing fresh, high-quality food directly from the farm to our community.
This National Farmers Market Week, join us in thanking our farmers by shopping local, supporting local agriculture, and celebrating the people who work tirelessly to feed our community. We are grateful to have them as part of the Farmers Market at the Guilford Fairgrounds.
Join us every Thursday from 4-7pm through September 10th at the Guilford Fairgrounds, and experience one of the best ways to support local agriculture and small businesses. Shop for fresh produce, farm products, specialty foods, baked goods, handcrafted items, and so much more in a friendly community atmosphere. Best of all, everything at our market is grown, raised, produced, or handcrafted right here in Connecticut.
