Connecticut Farmers Market Guide 2020

6/5/2020

2 Comments

 
All of us at SNAP4CT are excited about the  2020 Farmers Market Season in Connecticut! Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to eat well. Plus, some markets accept and even double or triple SNAP / EBT benefits. That means healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables for less money!

Saving money AND eating healthy are two of our favorite things. Being outside in the fresh air of the markets is also a big plus. You can even meet neighbors making it a fun way to socialize. Seriously, if you haven’t been to your area farmers market you are missing out.

We'll help you get started!

Very big and deep thought, forced me to think about what we are doing with us now. We can’t predict future but we can invent it. If we are searching life on mars, then why not we first try to preserve life on earth.
