If you’re local and you’ve never been,
Yankee Magazine voted it the best Farmers Market in New England.
What a great way to spend a beautiful summer Sunday –
June through October, 11 – 2, Nathan Hale Homestead, Coventry, CT
K and I went this morning,
and I will admit to you right here that I consumed two cider sugar donuts,
an iced mulled berry cider,
a crepe, and on the way out? a slice of the coconut cake you will see in the photos below.
Disgusting, I know I know I know.
Sometimes, ya just gotta do what ya gotta do.
I did buy kale and strawberries to balance it out 🙂
You could hold these two adorables, one in each hand.
That’s how small they were. I was tempted to tuck them in my market bag, yes I was.
An adorable Alpaca face…
Dogs everywhere, but well controlled and polite.
When I see other Danes I realize just how very big Ben is compared to most.
We really did let a horse in the house when we brought him home.
This one is about 60 lbs. lighter.
Kettle corn, enough to feed a nation.
Lots of beautiful produce…
Some very colorful people…
Fiber artists…
Chickens!!!….
This is one beautiful rooster.. I think they said it was a phoenix.
Very friendly.
Plenty of vendors, lots of room for walking.
The Nathan Hale Homestead…
where this all takes place..
I got some of these…
..and ate a slice of this….
K had one of these…
molasses crinkles
Iced berry cider in a travel mason jar. YUM…
There was some crepe consuming…
..and some bread buying.
Finally, some old barn admiring on the ride home.
It’s all good.
Looks like a heavenly day! I love markets like this. By the way, that coconut cake is calling my name.

I love Farmers Markets! This post was delightful and I'll probably dream about that coconut cake tonight.
My kind of day, eating my way through the farmer's market. All kidding aside, what a fantastic market. I have never been to one with so much variety!!
Farmer's Markets are the best and that one looks awesome! We are looking forward to our little town market opening on Tuesday!
