STAFFORD — Calling all Connecticut farms, food vendors, musicians, and artisans: The Stafford Farmers Market would love to have you join it this summer.

The season is scheduled to run Saturdays from 4 to 7 p.m. from May 20 to Sept. 16 at Sun Valley Resort, 51 Old Springfield Road, Stafford Springs.

The market’s heart and soul is its farmers, so if you grow fruit or vegetables, raise chickens or pigs, harvest berries or flowers, or make dairy products from your goats or cows, the market is looking for you.

Products must be Connecticut farm raised, farm grown, homemade or handcrafted to be considered.

Those interested in taking part can send an e-mail to: StaffordFarmers MarketCT@gmail.com.

Social media pages provide the current information and weekly market posts during the season. The posts will have details on what products can be found at each market, and lots of photos. The pages also do Vendor Spotlights to give details on the market’s farmers, bakers, cooks, artisans and musicians.

The market also has fresh baked goods available to pair with its farm goodies. Plus, the market is open during dinner time, so ready-to-eat hot or cold food and drinks are always a huge hit with those attending.

Specialty artisans offer gifts or one of kind items. Live music creates an ambiance as our customers browse and eat.

Stafford Farmers Market’s goal is to help the community connect with small local businesses and provide a way to do so while spending an enjoyable Saturday evening out. The market typically has 15-20 vendors on a given week. However, our market has 30-40 vendors that take part in it each year.

We are located at the shady and picturesque field at the entrance of Sun Valley Resort. The market is open to the public, and leashed dogs are welcome.
