<h3>Connecticut is going to have a view of the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday, August 12th!</h3>
Come early to grab lunch, play yard games and make your own eclipse chalk art! The first 100 customers (starting at 12 PM) will receive free eclipse glasses with any purchase made at the Apple Barrel Farm Market, or you can purchase glasses for $5 each (while supplies last).
We will have a special Eclipse Cookie Decorating Kit available for purchase! Yard games will be outside on the Apple Barrel Patio.

The solar eclipse begins in Connecticut at 1:03 PM with peak at 1:54 PM and ends around 2:42 PM. Only a partial eclipse will be seen in CT, but the experience can still be enjoyed by all!

Please BYO eclipse glasses in case we run out!
