Looking for a Farmer's Market in Fairfield County?

Are you looking to go to a Farmer's Market in Fairfield County?  Though not always "cheap", they are a lot of fun.  New Canaan and Westport being my favorites as they are on the weekends.  Rowayton is on Friday and how can you beat a Farmer's Market on the water?  Go to the following link for the list of all the Farmer's Markets. Scroll down about about 1/4 of the way and the markets are listed alphabetically, with addresses and some have their own websites: http://fairfieldgreenfoodguide.com/2014/04/02/2014-guide-fairfield-county-farmers-markets/

Can't make it to the Farmer's Market but really want something you can only get there?  I met a woman who works with Fresh Nation.  She was packing her car with orders from the Market to take to customers.  She said it was $5 for delivery and then the usual cost of the items.  I asked how it was possible to make any money with a mere $5 delivery fee and she said that they work with the farmers and vendors and buy wholesale.  I have not used it yet but I have signed up.  If you are interested, go to: https://freshnationathome.com  You will have to enter your zip code and you can order right online and delivery dates are on certain days.  As some items need refrigeration, I'm sure someone has to be home to accept the delivery.
