They hold it at Gossett Brother's Nursery (on Rte 35, near the fire station) every Saturday from 9am-1pm and it goes all through the year. http://www.gossettnursery.com/ It's a tiny market through the long winter months, but such a great resource. Vegetables and mushrooms from Madura Farms (Goshen, NY), beef, pork, chicken, goat, lamb, eggs, milk, honey and maple syrup from New England Farms (Granville, NY), are the staple vendors. Right now we have breads from Wave Hill, baked goods and pies, jams and preserves, seafood, cheeses, pickles, condiments... lots. This will be the 2nd winter of the market, and it has only grown in popularity over the summer, so I'll be interested to see who stays around. Sophie,

If you are near Danbury, then the South Salem farmer’s market may not be very far from you. They hold it at Gossett Brother’s Nursery (on Rte 35, near the fire station) every Saturday from 9am-1pm and it goes all through the year.

I haven't been to the Wooster Street market, but that's the one that is open all winter, right? Patrick mentioned it to me this summer. And another farmer also suggested the one in Westport on Saturdays ... do you have a preference? Right now, we are still hitting Stuart Farm in Bridgewater for beef and occasionally Holbrook for other stuff. Veggies have been frozen/canned ones that I put up or frozen from Trader Joe's. Wow!

Since Thanksgiving is a traditional tradition, I will likely cook pretty much what I cooked last year.

And you covered so many farms too, what a great variety and tribute to have on your table. What are you planning to cook this year? Wow, that’s a huge forage!
