Indigo Buntings, a Brighter Shade of Blue

By |

This is how the repartee unfolds as we get ready to hit the trails each week. There is a flurry of text messages, emails, and phone calls regarding all the wonderful places in town to stretch our legs. Ouija boards, spinners and rounds of rock, paper, scissors all become important tools in our decision making. It starts as a polite exchange, until I hijack the suggestions and begin to push my own recommendation with great gusto. The give and take builds to a crescendo when I pitch which piece of open space will best meet our needs (aka where I want to go).

Summer Farmers Market

By |

The Suffield Farmers Market is up and running for the summer months with vendors offering their wares every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. until noon, rain or shine, in the center of town on the south green (across from the barber shop). If you didn’t make your way to the Market in June, you still have July, August and September to experience Suffield’s Saturday morning “get together”. This year there is an opportunity to sign up as a Friend of the Suffield Farmers Market and pledge to get the word out and display the Farmers Market Swag. We have farm themed visors and bags for children as well as a chance to plant something to take home. We’ll be offering tee shirts, aprons and grocery bags for purchase.
