Farmers markets of Hartford Connecticut offer fresh fare

Heirloom Market - Historic Wethersfield, CT
Historic Wethersfield

Great food, the work of local artisans, live music: That’s Wethersfield’s farmers’ market

To say the lineup of vendors at Historic Wethersfield’s farmers’ market is eclectic is something of an understatement. At the market, which typically runs from late spring to late October at the Solomon Welles House, visitors can find the best in artisanal products and baked goods. Products, which must be grown or made in Connecticut, run the gamut: tortilla chips, organic vegetables and herbs, humanely-raised meat, cut flowers, free-range eggs, pottery, dog treats, hand-made jewelry, candles, fruit and cream pies, cheeses, soaps, maple syrup, jams and jellies, heirloom seeds, fudge, wines and penny candy. And that’s just to name a few! There are food trucks and live music and lots of places on Cove Park to picnic and let the kids run around.
