The Fairfield Winter Market (a new venture of the Westport Farmers Market) opened last week. It's indoors at the Fairfield Theatre Company at 70 Sanford Street, Fairfield, CT.
I finally got there today and as one who has done outdoors in New Haven, I am sure grateful for an indoor market! Of course, today it was unseasonably mild--a gentle 48 degrees. Sigh.
Some of my favorite vendors from New Haven were there: Two Guys from Woodbridge, Sankow's Beaver Brook Farm, and Beltane Farm.
Some of my favorites from other venues were there: Wave Hill Bread (Yeah!) and Goatboy Soaps.
A new vendor I met for the first time today was Ox Hollow Farm. I got some pork chops and a ham. They also have chicken (yipee!).
Westport Aquaculture had clams on the half shell and oysters. Two bakeries had delectabilities one expects from bakeries. I'm still dieting, so I tried to keep a respectable distance. One bakery, from Ridgefield (very sorry I did not get the name) had these wonderful oatmeal breakfast cookies that did not contain added sugar. All the sweetness came from apple sauce and fruit juice. Very nice.
A good time was had by all.

Dear Soph,
As always, I love this blog. I also suggested that my own blogreaders check it out, so hope you get more traffic from that! We can hardly overdo "locavorism"!

Thanks for the endorsement, CG. Likewise, I love your blog and your insights.
The pork from Ox Hollow Farm was delicious and I intend to post the whole meal for this week's local challenge meal.
I guess the "local challenge" isn't as challenging for you folks!
Wave Hill Breads now has a simple Website which lists where the bread is sold and how to contact the bakery. It's obvious: www.wavehillbreads.com.
We will be expanding it shortly.
Thank you for the "yeah".
Margaret
