You never know where a conversation with Lloyd Allen will go.
The other day I stopped in at Double L Market, to pick up their trademark box of fruit.
The longtime owner of the beloved Post Road East fruit stand-and-much-more was in an expansive mood. He had a strong case of spring fever — exactly what someone whose life revolves around the seasons should have.
Lloyd Allen, at Double L Market.
Lloyd talked nostalgically of his original farm stand, where Kings Highway North runs into the Post Road.
He told me that Paul Newman loved loved LOVED Double L’s honeydews.
Of course, Lloyd is much more than just a fruit and vegetable vendor. He is pursuing multiple avenues on stage and through the media. The Westport Library has been a great partner throughout, he said.
Lloyd has always felt close to the people of Westport. He thrives on the town’s vitality, energy and charm. To give back, he hopes to build a stage of giant iPhones — the theme of a play he’s written — on the side of Double L Market, so he can workshop scenes. (Michael Calise, his landlord, is okay with it, Lloyd said.)
Then he showed me early signs of spring: fiddlehead ferns, spring garlic
and early onions. (All are from the West Coast, alas.)
Double L bounty, spring 2021.
Today — April 6 — Lloyd turns 75. He is filled with gratitude for Gianna. They love each other’s company; they collaborate, and respect each other greatly.
Then Lloyd backtracked 40 years. He talked about how the seasonality of his early roadside stand gave him time with his kids, in their early years.
He might soon take a few days with Gianna, just the two of them, to get away and ponder next moves.
Lloyd still has a whole lot to get done.
But for now: Happy 75th birthday, Lloyd.
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And may the rains fall soft upon your fields.
We all love — and need — all that you offer all of us!

Generations of Westporters know and love Lloyd Allen.
The eponymous owner of Double L Market (get it?) serves extra-fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, bread, meat, fish, baked goods, soups, salads and flowers — and plenty of wisdom, about all of those and everything else — from his down-home store on Post Road East, next to Calise’s Deli.
Lloyd Allen, outside his Double L Market.
Some of his many customers/friends may know about Lloyd’s artistic side. When he moved from Texas in the early 1970s, he worked in the Metropolitan Opera’s millinery department.
He later designed and produced women’s clothing. When MTV launched, he wrote and produced their first fashion video.
And — hey, this is Westport!— Lloyd wrote “Being Martha,” a fan bio about you-know-who.
Now he’s got another project. Soon, we’ll see the fruits of his labor. “Screen Time” — a new musical Lloyd wrote — debuts at the Westport Library July 20.
It tells the story of Angie (a bookeworm) who meets Marshall (a coder) building Angela (an AI chatbot).
The humans fall in love. Marshall introduces Angie to his influencer friends. Cautious at first, she acquiesces. With Angela’s guidance, she becomes a viral influencer.
The cast includes many well known locals (and influencers). Among them: leads Emily Hall and Jayden Saenze, plus Zac Mathias, Stephanie Webster, Nina Clark, Megan Shinella, Meghan Hedge and Genie Morris. Eric Kupper is the musical director.
Emily Hall rocks “Screen Time.”
“Screen Time”‘s plot is as modern as it gets. But it’s been 20 years in the making.
Lloyd started on a musical 2 decades ago. He finally dusted it off, got past writer’s block (with help from Stephanie), and reworked it.
The original romcom was “20 years too early,” Lloyd says. The theme still works, though: “How do you stay in love while dealing with the good and bad sides of technology?”
The show is already on Instagram (@ScreenTimetheMusical). Fans can follow the production, as it builds to the Library launch.
“We’re adding to it all the time,” he says. “The whole thing is very organic.”
And organic is something Lloyd Allen — as a playwright and fresh produce store owner — knows very, very well.

After several hours of debate, the Representative Town Meeting voted 25-10 last night to appropriate $630,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to proceed with the redesign of Parker Harding Plaza and Jesup Green.
A majority of members felt that the vote was necessary to move the project forward.
They noted that specific votes on, for example, removing trees from Jesup Green and adding a parking deck at the Baldwin lot or elsewhere could come later, once the funds have been appropriated.
Many RTM members indicated that although they approved this appropriation, they would not vote for removing trees from Jesup Green.
RTM moderator Jeff Wieser told “06880”: “We are 36 people and we seldom come away all happy from a discussion. We reached a place which 25 of us could support, and we kept the process going. And before one chain saw is started, we will have a chance to stop it.
‘The RTM expressed great concern about touching Jesup Green. The RTM got a commitment from the (Tooker) administration to look at the feasibility of parking structures in 3 locations.
“The RTM was told that it would be a year before any plans were solidified to begin construction. The RTM was told that the design will be coordinated with the current review of options for the public safety facilities — which could involve the relocation of the Police Department.”
Meanwhile, a new twist in the downtown parking saga was introduced Monday at Superior Court in Bridgeport.
A lawsuit filed by the owners of 3 downtown businesses — Nômade restaurant, Honeydo Family and Elixir Spa — asked the court to overturn and deny the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recent approval of the town’s 8-24 request to redesign the Parker Harding and Imperial Avenue parking lots.
The lawsuit has a return date of June 4.
Redesign of Parker Harding Plaza may be slowed by a lawsuit.
Six days after a gasoline tanker fire shut I-95 — and 3 days after the highway was reopened — traffic backups returned to Westport.
This time an accident in Fairfield snarled backroads like Long Lots throughout the east part of town. This was the scene crossing Morningside Drive South on Hillandale Road, in heavy rain:

The Staples High School Skate Club appreciates the Compo Beach Skate Park.
But they know it needs work.
Members, and advisor Jesse Bauks, have worked with Westport Parks & Recreation parks superintendent Mike West, and the owner of Rampage Skate Equipment, to demolish and replace the large ramp.
They also took time from practicing tricks and flips, to raise funds. Among their projects: concerts at Toquet Hall, with local bands The Corduroys and Dulcit.
The Skate Club is donating $1,000 to Parks & Rec for additional repairs and maintenance.

Does Mom want a box of farm-fresh food for Mother’s Day? (It’s Sunday, dudes!)
The day before — Saturday, May 11 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), everyone is invited to Double L. The Post Road East market — beloved for its commitment to clean, healthy goods from local farms and artisans — hosts a “Build a Box” event.
Everyone is invited to create a special food box, from a curated mix of signature products (“boxed in a thoughtful presentation”).
The Westport Garden Club has a long history at Grace Salmon Park.
The former unsightly landfill became a park in 1977 through the club’s fundraising efforts, elbow grease, and partnerships throughout the town. The club continues to maintain its gardens, and recently renovated the plantings as part of Westport’s Pollinator Pathway.
For the club’s 100th anniversary, current and past president chose Grace Salmon Park to commemorate a century of civic beautification.
With the help of Mark Bolduc of Giunta-Bolduc Mason Contractors, and Gault Stone & Landscaping, a sundial was installed in the garden this week.
As members gear up for their annual plant sale on Jesup Green this Saturday, they invite residents to stop by the nearby Imperial Avenue park, and enjoy its newest addition.
The sundial looks like it’s always been part of Grace Salmon Park.
Yale University won its first-ever women’s lacrosse Ivy League championship on Sunday.
And they have an athlete with Westport connections to thank.
Taylor Lane scored the game-winner in overtime against the University of Pennsylvania, after the Bulldogs battled back from a 9-5 4th-quarter deficit. The tying goal came with just 5 seconds left.
Lane — a Greenwich Academy graduate — has great genes. Her father, Peter Lane, was a noted Staples High School quarterback, in the 1980s. His father — Taylor’s grandfather, Paul Lane — was the Wreckers’ longtime football coach. Staples’ stadium is now named in his honor.
One more connection: Taylor’s first cousin is Max Maurillo. He made the goal line, game-saving tackle last fall, to clinch Staples’ state football championship.

Speaking of athletes: Kate Lesch was a star soccer player, in Staples’ Class of 2016. She moved to New Hampshire before graduating, then headed to Washington & Lee University.
Now she’s written her first novel. The official publication date is today.
“A Summer in Nixie” is a teen and young adult coming of age story. It’s about a girl’s last summer before college, a best friend she didn’t know she needed, back porch conversations with her mom, and a guy she doesn’t want to get involved with, but can’t get out of her head.
Speaking of Staples: The school has announced its May Students of the Month.
Senior Logan Manchester, juniors Julianna Gallo and Willian Vanamee, sophomore Zoe Glekas and Asher Vengrow, and freshman Ellary Lueker “help make Staples a welcoming place for their peers and teachers alike. They are the ‘glue’ of the Staples community — the type of kind, cheerful, hard-working, trustworthy students that keep the high school together, making it the special place that it is.”
“Students of the month are nominated by their teachers, who are asked to think of those students who come to school regularly, are friendly to the staff and to fellow students, and make positive contributions in class as well as the Staples community. In short, these students are all-around good citizens of our school.”

Today’s very intriguing “Westport … Naturally” photo comes from the very alert nature photographer Johanna Keyser Rossi, at Sherwood Island State Park. She writes:
“From a distance I thought these were turkeys. But then I saw the long beak. First time I ever saw these kind of birds — glossy ibises.”
In today’s “Westport … What’s Happening” podcast, 1st Selectwoman Jen Tooker covers a topic of great interest: the recently approved town operating budget. She describes what it involves, and explains the 1.8% increase over the current fiscal year.

The Representative Town Committee Transit Committee meets next Monday (April 1, 7 p.m., Westport Library Room 216).
They’ll review, and make recommendations to the full RTM for its April 9 meeting, on a request by Public Works director Pete Ratkiewich to approve $630,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), for design and permitting of the redevelopment of Jesup Green and the Imperial Avenue parking lot.
This area of Jesup Green may be redeveloped for parking. Green space would then be added at the lower lot, closer to the Saugatuck River.
While Connecticut is not in the path of the April 8 total solar eclipse, we will experience 85% to 90% coverage.
The eclipse begins at 2:10 p.m., with peak coverage (the sun most hidden) at 3:26 p.m. The eclipse end around 4:35 PM.
The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be August 23, 2044 (save the date!).
The Westport Public Schools have purchased solar eclipse glasses for all elementary school students and staff, including preschool.
Classroom teachers and science coaches will prepare students through age- appropriate lessons, practicing proper use of the glasses and sharing information on their morning news.
Some schools are making this a “Spirit Day,” asking youngsters to wear black to represent the moon (or yellow, for the sun). Teachers will take their students outside for a short period of time between 2:15 and 3:15, for observation.
The district asks parents to talk to their children about what to expect, and the importance of looking up at the sun only when wearing the solar eclipse glasses. Click here for more information on solar eclipse safety.
Parents who want to experience the event with their child away from school can have an excused absence for an “educational experience,” if requested in advance.
The Parks & Recreation Commission meets tomorrow (Wednesday, March 27, 7:30 p.m., Zoom). The agenda includes discussion of the Compo Beach playground renovation project.
Five days after taking part in a dramatic rescue of more than 2 dozen Saugatuck Rowing Club teenagers, the Westport Fire Department was back at Compo Beach.
This time, the event was planned: testing all hoses for leaks and pressure loss. It is a 2-day — and very important — process.
Double L Market — the Post Road spot beloved for sourcing clean, healthy food from local farms and artisans — has expanded. Double L now delivers fresh fruits and vegetables, artisanal food and gourmet products directly to Greenwich residents.
Double L was founded in 1985 by Lloyd Allen, as an outdoor farm stand. It’s now an indoor market next to Calise’s, run by Allen and his wife Gianna Bavido.

For several years, Lorenza Arnal’s homemade salsas, matcha, guacamole and more — under the name of Alma’s Mexican Foods — have been one of the Westport Farmers’ Market’s most popular items.
For good reason: she was born and raised in Mexico.
One day, a WFM customer suggested she offer culinary tours there. Soon, Capitana Adventures was born.
Last year, Lorenza took her first group of foodie travelers to Mexico. Her guests were very impressed. One said that even if they had seen and done half of what was offered, she still would have been thrilled.
She is booking tours now for next fall and winter. Click here for more information. (Hat tip: Amy Ancel)
Trumpeter Michael Mossman has done it all — almost
After apprenticing as a youngster with jazz legends Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey and others, he served as music director for Blue Note Records’ Out of the Blue, while still in his 20’s. He then forged a brilliant career as a soloist, arranger, music director and educator.
There is one thing left, after Mossman’s Jazz at the Post shows this Thursday (March 28, 7:30 and 8:45 p.m.; dinner from 7 p.m. on; VFW Joseph J. Clinton Post 399; $20 music cover; $15 for veterans and students).
That is: marrying Westport’s own Nancy Kail. That takes place the next night!
Joining Mossman are guitarist Bob DeVos, bassist Boots Maleson, drummer Sylvia Cuencal and saxophonist Greg “The Jazz Rabbi.”
Reservations are highly recommended: JazzatthePost@gmail.com.

For over 30 years, Lloyd Allen has served Westporters.
First at actual farm stands, now in a Post Road store next to Calise’s, he offers the freshest fruits, vegetables, eggs, bread, meat, fish, baked goods, soups, salads and flowers.
For the past 14 months though, he’s actually had to serve his customers.
COVID dealt a death blow to many small businesses. Food services were particularly hard hit.
Lloyd Allen, outside his Double L Market on the Post Road.
But Lloyd knows his onions. As soon as the pandemic shut his doors last March, he pivoted. His Double L Market pivoted immediately to curbside.
“We didn’t dither,” Lloyd says. “We transformed completely into a warehouse.”
Unlike many markets, he did not create a website for customers to order from.

Working with Apple (the company, not the fruit), he devised a text-based ordering system. Rather than clicking items into a virtual “shopping cart,” Double L developed a friendly, interactive conversation-style experience.
Customers texted what they wanted. Armed with iPhones and iPads, employees filled orders. If they had a question — “What kind of berries exactly?” or “We’re out of those potatoes; what would you like instead?” — they texted immediately.
Employees texted again when the order was ready for pickup.
At first, customers simply sent lists: “2 blueberries, 1 strawberry, 3 broccoli crowns, 4 honey crisps, 2 little gems, 1 cauliflower white, 1 baby bok choy.”
Soon, they started adding messages: “2 raspberries, 2 chicken empanadas, 1 piece of salmon. You rock!”
One customer asked Lloyd to recommend items. “Peaches?” he asked. “Sure! 4 is good!” came the reply.
“It felt like texting a friend,” Lloyd says. That makes sense. Most of his customers already were friends.
Vendors got into texting mode quickly too:
Last weekend — for the first time since March 2020 — Lloyd opened Double L Market’s doors back up.
Many customers were grateful. Perhaps 20%, he estimates, had never been inside before. They’re new arrivals to town, who know his store only through curbside.
They are thrilled to finally roam the aisles.
Customers who knew Double L from before were impressed too. The long shutdown proved to be a good time to paint and freshen up the interior.
But other people like the convenience of texting and pickup. They want to keep shopping that way. So Lloyd will continue offering the option.
He’ll also still deliver to local customerx who for any reason cannot come to him.
Back in business — indoors.
Lloyd’s quick pivot enabled him to keep all his employees, throughout the entire 14 months. He did not even need a PPP loan to keep going.
In fact, he says, he even hired out-of-work restaurant employees to help.
Lloyd left nothing to chance. During the darkest times, he divided his crews into 2. Each worked separate days. That way, if one was diagnosed with COVID, only half of his staff would have to quarantine.
The “time off” — Lloyd was on only one crew — offered him time to start a blog. He writes deftly about food, in all its forms: what’s at the market, how it got there, and much more.
As he spoke about the past 14 months, Lloyd grew emotional. He’s proud of what he and his employees accomplished, gratified at the loyalty and trust his customers showed, and happy to be back.
All his life he’s watched farmers sow, nurture and reap.
Lloyd Allen is one of the most chill people I know.
The owner of Double L Market has cultivated a loyal clientele. Customers love his fresh, local, organic, free-range, gluten-free and grass-fed meats, produce, seafood and more. They come not just to buy, but to banter with him.
He’s been operating for more than 30 years, first in actual farm stands, now in a Post Road store next to Calise’s.
Lloyd Allen, outside his Double L Market on the Post Road.
But yesterday Lloyd was upset. Also angry, appalled and disheartened.
His voice shook as he told me that 2 weeks earlier, the Westport Weston Health District inspected Double L, and gave him a 94.
On Wednesday, another inspection. Another grade of 94.
But then, he said, he got a call. There was a problem with labeling, he was told. He said he’d be in at 8:45 yesterday morning.
At the meeting he was told: “You’ve got a serious problem. We’re going to close you down today.”
The problem was with labels on salsa, tomato sauce and canned peppers. They did not include the weight, or indicate where the products came from.
He asked exactly what was needed to rectify the problem. “I don’t know,” a young inspector told him.
She said the state Department of Consumer Protection might be involved too.
Lloyd told “06880” that Double L buys from producers with HACCP food safety accreditation — “and you can’t get higher than that.”

The WWHD inspector came into his store, and embargoed everything she said was improperly labeled.
Lloyd does not dispute the need for proper labeling. His issue, he says, is that he was not told earlier about the issue, offered a chance to rectify it — or even given the proper information on what he needed to do.
He is also furious at the way he was treated.
“They showed me no respect,” he said. “I’ve been here for 35 years. I have the healthiest, freshest stuff in town. I love local. I work with big farmers and small farmers.
“I’ve made this town better. I’ve worked with so many kids. The Health Department used to come in, and tell me what was needed. This time they just came in and acted, without any respect at all.”
He worried yesterday he might be shut down, right before Mother’s Day.
Double L Market is still open — though there are empty shelves where his salsa, tomato sauce and canned peppers used to be.

“It’s like I was walking down the street with my baby, and someone suddenly grabbed me and shook the baby,” Lloyd said.
Most people don’t make a connection between poison ivy and muffins.
Then again, most people are not Jerri Graham.
She and her daughter had recently moved to Westport from Taiwan. Jeri got a job at Greenwood Press — and a bad case of poison ivy.
Prednisone “made me crazy,” she recalls. She started baking muffins — lots of them. Soon her creations — including a delicious “Westport Morning Muffin” with flax seed, whole wheat flour, fruits and vegetables — were being sold at Doc’s.
Jeri envisioned a muffin delivery service that would “revolutionize breakfast around the world.”
Then she ate a supermarket granola bar. It was nothing but oats, and a few “well-calculated” pieces of nuts and dried fruit.
That was Jerri’s aha! moment.
“I’d been duped,” she recalls. “There was no flavor.”

Oats, she says, “are a blank canvas. You can add anything to them” — nuts, seeds, fruits, spices. There is no limit to creativity.
“If you pair almonds with cherries, that’s different than if you use cashews or pecans,” she says. “My brain is constantly spinning with possibilities.”
She started making the kind of bars she wanted, for herself and her daughter.
She shared them. Today she makes 62 varieties of snack bars. And counting.
Jerri says the reaction to her bars has been “incredibly positive. People are excited by all the different tastes and textures. They’re tired of being tricked.”
Nothin’ But — as in “nothin’ but the best real snacks available” — are baked in a Post Road caterer’s kitchen. They’re sold at Doc’s, Double L Market, Arogya, Cocoa Michelle, and 2 farmer’s markets (Thursdays at the Imperial Avenue lot, Sundays at Christie’s).
They’re also available at the Norwalk-Rowayton, Brickwalk and Greenfield Hill farmer’s markets.
Soon you can buy them at Yura in New York City, and Golden Pear in the Hamptons.
But not at Stop & Shop.
“Everyone’s trying to be the next Bear Naked,” she says, of the Fairfield County granola mega-succes story.
“I don’t want to follow that path. We’d go to Dean & Deluca-type stores — if we ever did those at all.”
Jerri’s mission is to “change snacking. America does not need to run on Dunkin’.
“Convenience stores sell snack bars, but they’re right next to cigarettes and Oreos. That’s not the impact I want. Almonds are better for you than butter cream.”
For now, Jerri’s goal is to “stay focused.” The 1-woman operation is ready to hire people.
Meanwhile, she’s working on a blueberry-based “brain bar.” A percentage of sales will go to Alzheimer’s research.
“If you don’t have a reason for what you’re doing, there’s no reason to do it,” she says.
And then she’s off to the kitchen, to make the donuts snack bars.
