This year is pretty great. @torringtonfarmersmarket is accepting SNAP! The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of families who need it, so they can purchase healthful food! So if you have SNAP make sure to visit them!⠀

Finding it's home again this year at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, the @torringtonfarmersmarket can typically drawn in around 400 people from the town and surrounding areas. They typically have around 11 vendors and are masking up to help deter Covid!⠀

Closing the Day with @cityseedhaven, but another great initiative they're started is @sanctuarykitchenct - a program of CitySeed in partnership with a network of community volunteers, to promote and celebrate the culinary traditions, cultures, and stories of refugees and immigrants resettled in Connecticut. In addition to its historical leadership as an immigration hub, New Haven receives up to 500 resettled refugees annually. With this diversity comes opportunities for cultural exchange, enriching the community at large and building ties across demographic divides.⠀
⠀
Refugees and immigrants arrive with the potential to contribute their unique skills and passions to the diverse and changing face of the Greater New Haven Area. Sanctuary Kitchen seeks to highlight these skills in economically viable culinary pursuits that provide personal income potential, while promoting culinary traditions, cultures, and stories to improve understanding and appreciation throughout our community. By attending a Sanctuary Kitchen event, you're helping refugees and asylum seekers receive training, support, income and opportunities to share their skills in meaningful ways.⠀

Another little fact about @cityseedhaven , they started an "incubator" for local food businesses their website says:" In line with our mission, CitySeed’s Food Business Incubation programming is designed to help build a more equitable local food system in the New Haven area that supports economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture. We aim to support small food business incubation in New Haven by providing training, resources and licensed food preparation space for local food entrepreneurs. Our focus is on reducing barriers to food entrepreneurship among chefs from New Haven’s diverse communities, many of whom are refugees, immigrants and people of color, while promoting their cultural heritage and stories."⠀

You can find all sorts of things at @cityseedhaven markets- themed market weeks (when it's not a Covid summer!), a winters market when you NEED those fresh greens in the dead of February, and some people even find love! (yes, that is a proposal in the picture). With so much to offer, it's no wonder New Haven Residents love Cityseed.⠀

@cityseedhaven is a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide all New Haven residents with access to fresh, local food. They also work to build economic opportunity in the food system. They believe a just food system is foundational to a thriving community.⠀
CitySeed’s mission is to engage the community in growing an equitable, local food system that promotes economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture.⠀
⠀
Because of all this, they make sure they accept AND double SNAP dollar-for-dollar with no cap for fresh fruits and vegetables. ⠀
