In any event, there was a good mix of farm vendors and specialty food vendors like More Pasta Lab, Pan de Oro Chips, Granny's Pie Factory, Ovelle Coffee Roasters and Whisked by Dani. There were at least a couple of food trucks. We bought some cookies, chips, and vegetables. It's definitely a market worth checking out if you're in the general Wethersfield area. 4 Stars

It was very manageably sized, with plenty of vendors, but not enough to make our visit unmanageable. We strolled the grounds, taking in the sites, and enjoying the live music being performed. With vendors selling a wonderful variety of Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, Dairy, Flowers, salsas, chips, baked goods, Italian ice, cheese, coffee, and pasta, you could easily plan a week's worth of meals right here. If you want pizza, there was a Square Peg Pizza truck on site. Oh, and let's not forget the dozen artisans and craftsmen showing off their hand made creations everywhere. And here's something you don't see at a lot of Farmers Markets - a massage station! We stopped at Whisked By Dani's booth and treated ourselves to two gigantic cookies, then we stopped at the Pan de Oro Chips and Salsa booth and guess what? We picked up a big bag of Mexican Street Corn flavored tortilla chips and two very reasonably priced jars of salsa (just $4 each). The Wethersfield Farmers Market's season ran from May 30, 2024, through October 10, 2024, on Thursdays from 3pm-6pm, so sadly they are done for the year. See you there next May.

"When I get home tonight I'm gonna hold her tight…read moreI'm gonna love her till the cows come home" (Lennon and McCartney) Another reason why I love Yelp! When I saw my Yelp friends Ana and Kim both review this very cool place, well I kind of made my mind up that I'd check it out too. I mean, how can you resist going to a store that has no employees, and you pay for whatever you buy on the honor system, either electronically or putting your dinero into a cash box. The store is small, but jam packed with frozen foods, ice cream, fudge, honey, jarred goods, coffee, goat and cow soap products, clothes, jewelry, a full dairy case of milks, eggs, and cheese, and more. We ended up buying a frozen portion of ground veal at a great price- just $7 for close to a pound. The purchase came at the perfect time for us because we needed it for our Thanksgiving meatballs recipe. So go take a ride to the country and check out this unique place. You'll have a blast poking around and looking at the many cows next to the store. In fact the whole experience is a pretty cool one.

The Cow's Coop is an adorable, tiny farm store in Canton. Upon arriving on their property I first…read morenoticed some cows, there were around five cows laying down catching the sun and one was eating. There were also some hens. In the center of the property is the store. There's no one working here. The store is completely self assist. Now, don't think of trying anything funny, there are cameras watching you. This store is precious! Here you can find cheese, milk, ice cream, local meat and eggs. You'll also find their own branded, handcrafted soap, candles, and skin care. Their soaps are beautifully made and smell delightful, and make excellent pairings with their candles. How do you pay if no one is working here? Well, first it's good to be honest, and trustworthy. They're trusting you to be alone in their tiny store, with their carefully curated and handmade products. By the door, there is a notebook, in which you can write what you're purchasing. You can pay by inserting cash into a red box, or you can pay on Venmo. Their prices are a bit higher. I truly enjoyed browsing through this little store. There are so many tasty looking and smelling items. Please take the drive and check them out for yourself.

I was driving up through Connecticut for a meeting when I stumbled upon this gem. I needed to pick…read moreup some fresh ingredients for dinner but wanted to find a farm stand or market rather than going to a grocery store. I did a bit of searching on my phone to find one that was close to the path I was traveling, I-91. It was also hard since it was a Friday technically "in winter" which is not the best time to get lucky finding a random farmers market. I was super excited and impressed when I pulled up to Garden Farmers Market. Not only do they grow a lot of their products on site in green houses, it was all organic! They have a wide selection of fresh greens they grow on the property. There is also a small dairy, juice and meat section, as well as some packaged products and spices. They had almost everything I was looking for. Unfortunately like most small markets they tend to carry mostly in season produce. It is a great place to find fresh organic produce, would be wonderful for someone who juices or anyone who wants organic food. Since it is hard to buy all organic, I would definitely return to buy the certain fruits and vegetables I choose to buy organic. Best of all I got a jar of raw honey for $5.99and the staff was very nice and inviting to the customers! A few cons: The prices are high (but you have to keep in mind its fresh organic produce) They don't have a scale by the produce so you can gauge what you are spending They are only open fri & sat

Also worth noting the market is only there Tuesday's and Fridays I believe through the summer and early fall.

We also like their indoor store; they have some fresh-grown tomatoes that are tasty and sell some very good locally grown canned and bottled products (try their apple sauce - really yummy). Good folks.
