The following piece was submitted by Deb Umba, Promotions & Events Chair, Higganum Village Market.

 

You are all cordially invited to come on down to the Higganum Green on any Friday of the summer months!---we're here until October 29th! Thank you for the warm support of Superintendant Mala and acknowledgement by Haddam's First Selectman, and many of HK's staff members and principals, while I continue working on the Farmers' Market during the year!

 

As we go through the summer months---we'll keep bringing the "best of the local best"--to Haddam and surrounding areas---superior farm fresh food, some fun ways to send your grad off to college (big pottery mugs filled with mini packets of coffee, seasonings, a recycled wool - pair of dorm slippers?), plus---a great spot to catch up with neighbors and friends on a summer afternoon! What better place to unwind from the weekly grind? Where you can grab some freshly brewed "Farmers' Market Blend of coffee," perhaps a delectable freshly made pastry or scrumptious Italian Ice! to enjoy on our own little oasis of green on the beautiful Higganum Green, and also---some of our local best entertainment!--some HK-Students have played on the Green and will be playing during the summer!

 

Additionally, later in the fall, we're attempting to bring a terrific evening of conscious-ness raising --and hopeful! View points about where our food originates, who grows it and why it is so important to support local sustainability for a smaller, local economy! This will be presented in a forum on farming diversity in CT, along with entertainment and lively commentary by Hartford Courant writer for 29 years, Connecticut's own - Steve Grant. This larger fund raiser is to benefit our community, so that we may "give back," too! 

 


Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you always for your support.
