Entertainment At Sandy Hook Farmer’s Market

The Sandy Hook Organic Farmer’s Market, which is open every Tuesday from 9 am until 1 pm through October, will again feature entertainment for all ages when it’s presented in the St John’s Church parking lot in Sandy Hook.

Next week’s entertainment will include pony rides by Meadowbrook Farm, visits with Lille Llama Farm, face painting by Jammie The Clown, antics by Yuri The Prince of Color, and crafts – summer faery crowns – will be sponsored by The Little Green Barn.

Palm readings are also being offered now, with visitors welcome at The Little Green Barn – across the street from the church on Route 34.

Area farmers have been participating will be contributing fruits and vegetables grown without the use of pesticides or insecticides, and others are offering baked goods made from natural ingredients and without the use of chemical preservatives.

Among the contributing vendors will be Shortt’s Farm and The Little Green Barn, both located in Sandy Hook, Warrups Farm, Old Solar Farm, Sacred Organics, City Coffee Café, and Guy’s Eco Garden. Market organizer Sue Fellows has been baking as well.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market will offer flowers, baked goods, breads, coffee, and a sandwich café.

Organic wine, made without sulfites that sometimes cause headaches, cannot be sold at the farmer’s market because of state regulations. But they can be purchased at Sandy Hook Wine and Liquors around the corner from St Johns’ Church.

Overflow parking is available at the nearby Villa Restaurant.
