Raise your plate and community
With its transverse cut of daring flavors, friendly faces and lively atmospheres, the producer markets are a destination for the senses. An atmosphere.
THE New Castle County Farmers’ Market Program Connects communities with farmers and local producers with traditional weekly markets and stands, while improving lifestyles with sustainable and affordable food options.
Walk in the Bellevue Farmers Market Friday is strengthening this vision, because customers are welcomed with sellers offering seasonal products, craft products and bakery products. The spirits are high while the neighbors meet in the outdoor space to buy weekly races, or for tasty meals on the go in friendly friendly atmospheres.
With a growing list of sellers like Beth house goodsThe market provides the community less frequented food, cooking demonstrations and the possibility of reconnecting with the cycles of nature in the region. It also offers customers the unique opportunity to meet people who develop and make food.
“The market reflects the unique character of the community,” explains Carly Thompson, who oversees the New Castle County Farmers Market program. “It has become a popular event for residents and local families to move and explore the products and goods manufactured and harvested in their own neighborhood.”
Get to know your food and your neighbors
THE Fresh farm To the Reader’s Café in the library and the Route 9 innovation center opened its doors last summer with accessibility to its heart. It offers seasonal products, some cultivated in the own garden on site coffee, as well as local honey and other stable foods to shelves at the neighbors of the library. In summer, you can find fresh products while the winter months offer dried herbs, honey, jams and other pantry. The Farm Fresh stand also offers kitchen demonstrations and unsold products are used at the reader’s coffee.
