Please join UConn's Spring Valley Student Farm at the 7th annual Know Your Farmer Fair!
Alright everyone! Time to shake up those winter bones. Know Your Farmer Fair is back and Covid willing and the creek don't rise it will be in person! Join us on March 19th from 10AM-1PM at the Elks Club in Willimantic to do some shopping, learn about local food opportunities, and of course get to know your farmer!
Now in its seventh season, this awesome event creates an opportunity for the community to meet local farmers from across Eastern CT (New London, Tolland and Windham Counties) and look ahead to the upcoming growing season. Residents can shop the farmer’s market as well as ask about local Community Supported Agriculture Programs (CSA), farm stands and pick-your-own opportunities.
Additionally, there will be food and farm products available for purchase, an opportunity to get free seeds for your garden, and the chance to learn from the fabulous farmers that lovingly grow food for our local communities.
Stop at the Spring Valley Student Farm table to buy some cool hand-printed SVSF tshirts, or take home some native milkweed seeds saved from our farm!
Who: You! This event is free and open to the public. It is a kid friendly event.
When: 10:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday, March 19th
Where: Elks Lodge, 198 Pleasant Street in Willimantic, CT
The Know Your Farmer Fair is a project of the Windham Community Food Network. WCFN is a collaboration of merchants, farmers, organizations, and community members looking to meet local nutritional needs with local resources.
