Summer arrives tomorrow.
That’s opening day for the Farmers’ Market. This year there’s a twist: It moves to the Imperial Avenue parking lot, next to the Westport Woman’s Club.
Every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., up to 30 vendors will sell fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, honey, herbs, baked goods, teas and flowers. And more: chicken, pork, lamb, beef, artisinal goat (?!), yogurt, lobsters and oysters.
And what New England farmer’s market would be complete without fresh made tamales?
This year’s edition — which, as always, supports local agriculture — is run through a new association. There’s a new market director, and new support from the Westport Green Village Initiative.
Who says there’s nothing new under the sun?
Paul Newman often shopped at the Westport Farmer's Market. He was a particular fan of the locally produced honey.
