For today's market Monday post we want to celebrate a member of the CitySeed network for Hispanic Heritage Month. Richard Ramos co-owns Tierra Soap Company, an artisanal soap vendor at both our Sunday Edgewood Park and Wednesday Q House Markets. Richard identifies as Afro-Latino and was born in the Dominincan Republic. Richard says it's important to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month given "that the real goal is to build a sense of belonging and understanding. It's not to just showcase who we are and how far we have come and how diverse we are, even within the same ethnic group. We all have something valuable to contribute to the world and so much is lost when we leave what makes us unique hidden. So many opportunities of growth, learning and progress are stifled when as people we fail to know our history, who we are, and how much we make the world better. I believe celebrating Hispanic Heritage can broaden our view of the world." You can support Tierra Soap Company at both the Sunday Edgewood Park Farmers Market and at the Wednesday Q House Farmers Market. @tierrasoapco ... See MoreSee Less

This is a community reminder that CitySeed Farmers Markets operate rain ☔️ or shine ☀️!

It has been incredibly rainy season, leaving farms with dramatic losses in crop yields. There have been not one, but two federal disaster declarations made for the extreme weather in Connecticut this year alone. As we continue to navigate unpredictable weather conditions in the face of climate change, it is ever important that we continue to support our farmers. Please visit the Wooster Square, Edgewood Park, and Q House farmers market to support your local hardworking agrarian! ... See MoreSee Less

On this rainy market Monday we are here to brighten your day with a spotlight on one of CitySeed's longest running volunteers, Janet! Janet has volunteered at the Edgewood Park Farmers Market since it began almost 20 years ago. She explains that it was really a group of volunteers that drummed up support for the market to happen in the Westville neighborhood. "I love getting to know the vendors and setting up the vegetables." As a now semi-retired therapist, Janet enjoys devoting her Sundays to helping vendors at the market. Janet led a children's activity creating nature bookmarks this past Sunday. We are so thankful for Janet's ongoing support of our Edgewood Park Farmers Market. You can read more about Janet's story in the CitySeed newsletter. Subscribe using the QR code. ... See MoreSee Less

Hispanic Heritage Month for CitySeed brings a special opportunity to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of individuals like Sandy Flores within our organization. Sandy, a dedicated force within the CitySeed community, embodies the spirit of Hispanic Heritage Month.

A New Haven native, Sandy grew up as a first generation American from Mexican parents and identifies as Mexican-American and Latina. She grew up in a bilingual household, and often acted as a translator for her parents while they learned English. She is apart of the first generation her family to attend college in the United States.

Sandy discovered her passion for food equity, and CitySeed too, after her father became ill and was recommended fresh fruits and vegetables for his recovery. She began attending the markets around age 5 and her love blossomed from there. After attending the markets for years as a regular customer, she began to volunteer 2014 before fully joining the team as an Assistant Market Manager in August of 2022.

She currently runs the Edgewood Park Farmers Market on Sundays and when she isn't out interacting with the community, she is also the Sanctuary Kitchen's Volunteer Coordinator, a Development Assistant and a Spanish Translator!

Her work at CitySeed is a bridge that brings people together. As part of the CitySeed family, Sandy has expanded her role from hobbyist to community builder, to leader. She tirelessly works to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, finds a place at the table. Community, cultural exchange, and perseverance, these are all important aspects of Sandy’s life and her work at CitySeed that lay at the heart of Hispanic Heritage Month.

In the spirit of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, CitySeed recognizes and appreciate the remarkable individuals like Sandy who enrich our communities with their talents, culture, and unwavering dedication to a better, more inclusive world. ... See MoreSee Less
