Westport Farmers’ Market Launches Pilot Farmers' Market Program

The Westport Farmers’ Market understands the value of the local food community, and the importance of access to healthy fresh food…food that has traveled a lesser distance and handled only by the purveyor and buyer. We know this local food community is important to our economy as it keeps the money spent by you and then the vendor here supporting our neighbors.

Market Director Lori Cochran says “We, also, know we will find our way back to our gathering place on Imperial Ave and eventually back to Gilbertie's next winter BUT for now, it is in our blood to get you local food.   To do so, we are launching a pilot farmers' market program under the strictest guidelines for shopping and collection of your purchases.  The well being of you, ourselves and our vendors is the utmost priority.”
