For the first time, the Edgwood Farmers' Market is open through the winte this year, alternating weekends with Wooster Square. Seven ambitious vendors, including Nate's Naturals, are braving the elements to bring excellent natural foods to Westville. This last Sunday, January 9th was opening day and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful winter day. Granola sales were in excellent hands with Peter Sparks manning the Nate's Naturals table, so Joanna and I were able to come down with our greyhounds and our adorable 2-year-old daughter, LiLi to just visit and enjoy the day.

It was an intimate scene. With fewer vendors than the regular season we were all able to fit into the West Rock Avenue parking lot, and there were lots of opportunities to chat with vendors and customers who also happen to be our Westville neighbors.

Melinda Tuhus from the New Haven Independent was also there, interviewing and photographing for her own article: Hundreds Visit Farmers Market--In the Snow.

While you're at it, take a look at my own photo gallery from last Sunday. Above: the view of the farmers' market from West Rock Avenue.
