One of the only farmers’ markets operating year-round in Connecticut, CitySeed’s fourth annual Winter Farmers’ Market is now open indoors through March at the Metropolitan Business Academy, 115 Water Street, New Haven from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to providing a viable marketplace where farmers and vendors are able to sell in the off-season, CitySeed’s Winter Market is a warm, welcoming community gathering place where shoppers meet up with friends and neighbors to celebrate local food during the cold winter months.

The Winter Market features a variety of Saturday brunch menu items including hot drinks, sweet and savory baked goods from renowned local bakeries, and prepared offerings from a weekly rotation of food trucks, including Chief Brody’s Banh Mi and Crepes Choupette. Farm fresh food items include root vegetables, greens, apples, cider, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, eggs, mushrooms, dairy products, cheeses, jams, and more. The Winter Market features family-friendly indoor activities and live performances by a series of local musicians. Knife and tool sharpening services are also offered.

All CitySeed Farmers’ Markets offer Food Stamp Double Value Coupon Program, a nutrition incentive program that enables SNAP recipients to double their money dollar for dollar at CitySeed Farmers’ Markets—up to $10 buys $20 of Connecticut-grown fruit, vegetables, seedlings, or canned fruits and vegetables at each market each week. Cash and credit and debit cards are accepted all CitySeed Farmers’ Markets.

Market dates are Saturdays, Jan. 21 and 28; Feb. 4, 18, and 25; and March 4, 11, 18, and 25. In February, instead of Saturday, Feb. 11, the market date is Sunday, Feb. 12.
