Westport Farmers’ Market
Yesterday at the market — sunshine, ideas for dinner, and conversations with people who know their craft.
When the sun is out, Westport Farmers’ Market is something to see and experience. I went yesterday, looking for ideas for lunch or dinner. It’s a good place to start when you’re not quite sure what you feel like making.
Many of the vendors have been doing this for years. Spend a little time talking with them and you begin to understand how deeply they know their craft.
The woman I buy my vegetables from has an exceptional knowledge of what she grows, how to care for it, and what to make with it. She’s also a lot of fun to talk to. Those conversations are as much a part of the market for me as the vegetables I bring home.
When to go
Westport’s outdoor market moves with the growing season. The market’s website currently lists Thursdays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., May 7–November 5, at 50 Imperial Avenue. The posted date range does not specify a year, so check the official schedule before heading out.
For winter, the market lists 7 Sylvan Lane as its location, with dates and hours still to be announced. The flyer in my photograph is not a confirmed schedule for this winter.
