Looking ahead, at the Coventry Regional Farmers Market, Blues & Brews day is Sept 2… that will include several breweries, including the Knights of the Mashing Fork, CT’s largest homebrew group.

A recent Facebook post from KofMF member Bryan Peretto: “Brewing the third batch of my Coventry TriCentennial ale for the Coventry Regional Farmers Market Brew day on Sept. 2. Three additions of Centennial hops for Coventry Connecticut’s 300th birthday.”

And the market continues to grow.

On Sunday (July 29, 2012) there was something new – as part of an impromptu Pickle Palooza – the debut of Farm to Hearth’s pickles, made in small batches with local produce and organic ingredients, including:

Brown Sugar Allspice Golden Beets,

Old Fashioned Bread & Butter,

Dilly Beans,

Bread & Butter Radish Chips,

Spicy Dill,

Sweet & Spicy Zucchini Relish,

Pickled Purple Beets,

and two types of pickled garlic scapes, a sweet and a sour.

The market is open every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nathan Hale Homestead, 2299 South St., Coventry, CT.
