Wilton Farmers’ Market

Wednesdays, June 24-September 30, 12-4 pm
Farm-fresh produce and fresh-baked breads and pies are just some of the offerings that are available to those who come to the new Wilton Farmers’ Market, in the back parking lot at Wilton Library. The market will be open each Wednesday through the summer, from 12-4 pm.  The library and the Chamber of Commerce, along with town officials, have been hard at work to bring this dream to a reality.  We’re  up and running and want everyone to come and purchase locally grown fruits, vegetables, free range eggs, homemade jams, herbs, and fresh cut flowers along with fresh bread and pies. Our vendors include Wilton’s own Ambler Farm and Wave Hill Breads, Michele’s Pies, Killam & Bassette Farmstead, Schulze Farm, OLA Granola, Izzy B’s Allergen-Free Cupcakes, and Twombly Nursery. Additional vendors may be added throughout the summer as we get established, so continue to come by and check us out.
