With its soft opening on June 15, the Newtown Farmers Market is ready for summer.

Just minutes after it opened, market managers Sean Fitzpatrick of Real Food Share and Andrea Saunders observed the clear sky, dotted with just a few soft clouds instead of the expected rain clouds, and shoppers starting to arrive.

“So far, so good,” said Fitzpatrick within the first ten minutes.

The market will return to Fairfield Hills every Tuesday, from 2 to 6:30 pm, through October.
