Farmer's Market at the Zoo
The Zoo will host a Farmer’s Market every Friday and Sunday through the late fall growing season. The market will be set up in the zoo's parking lot at 1875 Noble Ave. in Bridgeport, and neither zoo nor Beardsley Park admission is required. Various farms from throughout the state will bring their fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables plus homemade baked goods, pesto sauce, pasta sauce, jellies, jams, preserves, Goat Boy soap, local Connecticut honey, home décor, and more. One of the participants is Plasko's Farm, a family owned and operated farm that was established in Trumbull in 1925 and is the town's last remaining farm. Items sold by Plasko's are WIC and Food Stamp certified, so the general public may purchase items from Plasko's at the zoo's Farmers' Market using those vouchers. Local restaurants are invited to shop at the Farmers' Market as part of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture's Farm-to-Chef program. The program helps connect Connecticut chefs and food service professionals with growers, producers and distributors of CT Grown products. It also helps the public locate restaurants, institutions, and other dining facilities that serve foods prepared with CT Grown ingredients.
