Maker’s Monday at the Dudley Farm

 Crafters are invited to join the ladies from the Dudley Farm gift shop for fun and fellowship Monday afternoons from 1 to 3 pm downstairs at the yellow Munger Barn. Bring your work-in-progress projects and craft in community as we share expertise, advice, and laughter working in centuries-old techniques: sewing, quilting, knitting, basket weaving, hooking, spinning, whatever! Donations appreciated. For more information, contact Mary Norris, 203-415-0426. 

Farmers Market

 

June 7 through Oct

Saturday’s 9-12:30

We have breakfast and lunch being made fresh to order.  Hot coffee and rumor has it that there will be cold brew coffee this weekend.  Olive oil, jams, and maple syrup from just up the road.  The best canvas shopping bag that I’ve ever had the pleasure to use, will carry your food and so much more (only $15 with all proceeds going to the Dudley Foundation). Jewelry to compliment your dining outfit and even a spoon or fork to eat with.   Fiber arts to wear, keep you warm, keep you safe (masks), dry your dishes and put your plates on.  Bread, oh my God bread, of the sourdough variety.    Live music every week and historical craft demonstrations.   And you can say hello to our sheep and our chickens.
