Farmer's Market L
ooking to find beautiful, unique gifts; fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers; handy household and personal items; tasty treats and first class entertainment, all from local providers? Then get to the Enfield Farmer’s Market on the Town Green, every Sunday through September 27th. There you will find over 35 local vendors selling everything from handmade jewelry, candles, soaps, art work, Alpaca woolen items and dog treats to fresh produce, flowers, honey, dairy products, and eggs, all from area farms. While you stroll the Town Green, you will be entertained by Palmer, Massachusetts native Noah Lis, former contender on The Voice. You can even pick up a snack (pizza, pierogis, kettle corn, and more) and pull up a chair to the gazebo and relax while listening to Lis’ music for a most enjoyable outing. The Farmer’s Market organizers,
Connie Provencher and Town Manager Christopher Bromson, along with other town staff, are thrilled with the number and quality of vendors, their corporate partners, and all of the visitors who have made coming to the event a safe, pleasurable way to reconnect. One of the participating vendors is Jeanne Dubois, a retired art teacher, who sells beautifully handcrafted, quilled ornaments and note cards at her booth, The Quintessential Quill. Quilling is a very old art form traced back to the 15th century. Believed to have been created by French and Italian nuns to adorn religious objects, it is the art of coiling, folding, and bending strips of paper to create decorative designs. Dubois donates her profits to a dog rescue organization, Monticello 2nd Chance Fur Dogs. Look for her booth at the Market, see her on
