Fresh food and fun at the Norfolk Farmers Market

NORFOLK — The Norfolk Farmers Market and Craft Fair begins its fifth year with more than 30 vendors offering a selection of fresh food and goods from the local area.Sue Frisch, co-founder of the market, said the market has expanded substantially over the course of five years.“It has become a wonderful and social place to be,” Frisch said. “It brings people together. The vendors have become a big family who all help each other out a lot.”Manager Lisa Auclair said the town sponsors the market through its economic development committee.“The town wants to support local agriculture and arts,” Auclair said. “Even though we have vendors from many different towns, including Winsted, Canaan, Sharon, Falls Village and towns in Massachusetts, we all consider ourselves local.”The market is held each Saturday, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on 19 Maple Ave.
