Hill-Stead's Farmers Market
The Art of Locally Grown

Every Sunday, 11 am–2 pm
July 11–October 24, 2010

Hill-Stead's Farmers Market returns in 2010 for its second season. Over 15 Connecticut farmers and vendors will provide the community with an array of locally grown, fresh and organic vegetables, fruits, dairy products, naturally raised beef, veal, pork and lamb, baked goods, flowers, wool and Angora goat yarns, soaps and Connecticut-landed seafood. Local musicians will stroll the grounds entertaining market shoppers and vendors. Come to shop the market, visit with friends, and enjoy all that Hill-Stead has to offer.


Hosting a Farmers Market complements Theodate Pope Riddle's vision of Hill-Stead, which she designed and ran as a fully operational dairy farm and orchard from 1901–1946. The new market will provide the community with easy access to fresh, locally grown produce, give support to local farmers, and offer new patrons the opportunity to learn about Hill-Stead's wonderful collections and resources.

For opportunities to participate in Hill-Stead's Farmers Market, contact Peggy Hall at 860.677.4787 ext 110 or hallp@hillstead.org.
