Crepes, Petting Zoo at Farmers' Market

The GO LOCAL farmers’ and artisans’ market brings back “by popular demand” on Saturday morning, June 25, La Creperie, the petting zoo and pony rides.

“The chef will be making crepes to order using locally grown strawberries,” said Lisa Browning, who manages the market for the Barrington Congregational Church on County Road.

“The petting zoo and pony rides are also returning to the market by popular demand, pending good weather,” Browning said.

And the Barrington Police Department “is bringing a cruiser and police bike to the market for folks to explore,” she said.

As it does each Saturday at the “White Church,” the market will run from around 9 am to noon. 

Two dozens vendors usually set up outside the church's education building with fresh eggs, breads and pastries, artisanal cheeses, meats and fish, all-natural and cage-free poultry, candy and confections, organic cranberries, salad greens and herbs, dips and spreads, organic honey and related products.

GO LOCAL accepts food stamps, WIC vouchers and senior coupons, Browning said.
