🍓 Market Meals Friday 🍓

The forecast is looking hot this weekend, which means it's time to skip the oven and head straight for the grill!
Start with grilled sourdough pizza using pizza crusts from Hillyndale Road Farm & Bakery. Top with pizza seasoning and sausage from Kindred Crossings Farm LLC, spinach from To***co Road Farm, and fresh green garlic from Varga Family Farm for an easy summer dinner packed with local flavor.

On the side, toss together a fresh strawberry salad with lettuce and radishes from Willow Valley Farm, strawberries from Dondero Orchards, and microgreens from Growing Goodness. A simple balsamic vinaigrette is all it needs.

And of course, don't forget dessert! Keep It Sweet and Hillyndale Road Farm will both have sweet treats that pair perfectly with strawberry season.

Join us Saturday from 3–5 PM for Strawberry Day and enjoy some of the sweetest flavors Connecticut has to offer!
