Tomatoes have taken over the market but the season is coming to an end. If you aren't a big fan of grocery store tomatoes, get ready to have your mind blown. There's so much variety you'll feel like a kid in a candy store. Try a new tomato before it's too-late-o!
Market hours:
*Downtown- Wed 11-2pm (On the green, corner of Elm and Church St, across the street from city hall)
*Wooster Square- Saturday 9-1pm (Conte West School)

Christian "Chrissy" Tracey is a first generation Jamaican American, originally from Cheshire, CT. As a lifelong vegetarian, she transitioned to a vegan diet in 2018--but not before she was able to spend a few months exploring "the other side", trying different meats to understand the flavors this world had to offer. She is passionate about sustainability and climate change, and believes that bringing plant based to the masses will help decrease our environmental footprint at large.

At 27 years old, she is a vegan chef for Bon Appetit Magazine and runs a company called Vegan Vibes Meal Prep in Connecticut. Tracey is a CT 40 Under 40 recipient and contributes her excess resources as a business owner to providing low-income families with plant based meals in New Haven County.

Bell's Shellfish will be at the Wooster Square Farmers Market this Saturday (8/28) to help us kick-off Farm-to-Chef week!

About Bell's:
For over 7 generations the same family line has been harvesting oysters and clams from Long Island Sound, bringing over 200 years of expertise and quality to each and every catch. With 55 years working in the industry himself, in 2006 Captain Dave Hopp decided to start his own one-boat shop, naming it Bell’s Shellfish after his grandfather, Captain Wallace Bell, who passed along his immense knowledge of the aquaculture of The Sound and love for the clamming and oystering industry.

Bell’s Shellfish has since grown to 4 boats and a grandfather working along side his grandsons daily.
�
Bell’s Shellfish proudly harvests clams and Stratford Point Oysters year round.

Don't miss them this Saturday at our Wooster Square Market, open 9-1pm, located at Conte West Hills School .

This year Sunset Farm joined the CitySeed family and has been vending at our Downtown Market since opening day. We are so grateful for the vibrant and fresh picturesque products they’ve brought to Downtown.

Stop by their tent TODAY for amazing fresh produce and more! The Downtown Market is open today 11-2pm on the Green across the street from city hall!

About the farm:
Kaitlyn Kimball and Lawrence Passeck, own and operate the farm. They established the farm in 2018 and are in our third season. They have a 6 month old son named Spencer who is usually strapped to one of them and working with them outside!

"We are a no till diversified vegetable farm, growing on just under 1 acre. We grow a wide range of vegetables including tomatoes, greens, root vegetables, and more! We are focused on regenerative agriculture and building our soil health. We do this through the use of permanent beds, soil amendments, crop rotation, and cover crops. We are passionate about sustainability and try to limit our use of single use plastic on the farm. We use plastic free, compostable packaging for our bagged mixes, as well as paper bags for customers. We run a small CSA and attend several farmers markets. We believe strongly in food justice and making healthy, fresh food available to everyone. We donate produce throughout the season to various groups.

We use organic methods and follow the organic standards, but we are not USDA organic at this time.

We love getting to know our customers and pride ourselves on you having a high quality experience with us. We hope to see you at a market this summer and fall!"
