The following is a press release from the East Granby Farmers Market Committee
The East Granby Farmers Market Committee is very pleased to announce that the market will be starting its second season on Wednesday, June 20. The market will run again on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Center Shops, corner of Routes 20 and 187. The June opening date is two weeks earlier than last year, and weather willing, should be just in time for strawberry season. The 2012 Market’s last day is September 26.
In addition to fresh Connecticut grown produce and a myriad of other locally grown and made products, the East Granby Farmers Market features weekly entertainment and has become a regular meeting place for residents of East Granby and surrounding towns. Proceeds from vendor fees directly benefit the East Granby Public Library.
