If you love local, there’s a novel new way to get your fix this fall/winter at Sugar & Olives in Norwalk (21 ½ Lois St. 2-3 454 FOOD). It’s called FARMS AND A MARKET, and the first one pops up Friday, November 7 from 3-7 p.m. This indoor, rain-or-shine market/outing will run every Friday through February (except after Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year’s), offering locally produced edibles, including milk, eggs, cheese, honey flour, grains, produce and meats. You can stock up on staples, and stick around for a cocktail, a snack or and supper, or grab and go from that week’s food truck and take it home for dinner.
When the first Market rolls out, you’ll find fresh produce eggs and meat from Starlight Gardens in Durham CT and Snow Hill Farm in North Salem, NY, both Certified Organic Farms that follow NOFA practices (no GMOS, no pesticides, no antibiotics, and ethical practices). The Market will also have fresh Arethusa Milk on hand, locally milled flour from Wild Hive Farm in Clinton Corners, NY, Red Bee Honey (Weston), Brookside Farm maple syrup (Litchfield), and cheese, glorious cheese, from select local cheesemakers.
