Produce from our vendors will be at its peak… tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini and summer squash should be in abundance. Cabbages and beets will be available and with September’s cooler temps we will start to see a variety of apples and pears.

The Whistle Stop Bakery will be tempting our sweet tooth with the first apple pies of the season produced from local apples from Salinger’s Orchard in Brewster, NY. Also… grab them while you can… the last of the peach, blueberry peach, plum, and strawberry rhubarb pies.

Friday, September 9th Ridgefield’s very own Town Selectman Rudy Marconi will be grilling “FREE” hot dogs from Greyledge farms. This will take place from 4-5pm.

This is the perfect opportunity to thank Events Party and Tent Rentalin Georgetown, CT for allowing us the use of a huge grill and tent to allow us the opportunity to feature a number of local, guest chefs this season!

For entertainment we have a line up of very talented, local musicians who will beplaying for us each Friday.

Make plans to be at the Farmers’ Market Friday, August 19th and enjoy the sounds of Glenn Roth from 4pm to 6pm.  Bring a blanket and a friend and hang out on the green admist beautiful farm fresh foods.  Have Matt’s Lemonaide, Wave Hill baguette and some local cheese from 109 or Butterfield’s and you have a great afternoon and dinner to go to. 

Glenn Roth’s first experience with music was playing air guitar to Iron Maiden with his older brother Marc. By age seven, make-believe had turned into the real deal. He’s been playing ever since. Glenn’s early experiences as a musician focused on rock music, including a stint with the popular Connecticut jam band, The Fountain Project.
