Farmers market coming to downtown Fairfield this summer

A new farmers market will be open on Sundays at Sherman Green in Fairfield, beginning June 19. The market is expected to feature roughly a dozen local farm vendors and producers, featuring an array of fresh and seasonal vegetables, fruit, herbs, bread, eggs and fish.

According to Mark Barnhart, Fairfield’s director of community and economic development, the driving force behind the market was Bill Auer, owner of Fairfield’s Firehouse Deli, who will oversee operations. A website for the market, a collaboration between the department and Auer, is expected to launch soon.

The farmers market will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. rain or shine. For more information, contact Auer at 203-520-6408 or at thegatesman@aol.com.
