The is moving to Jillson Square this Saturday, June 13th, outside the fence near the Jillson House. The same spot we used to be at. We will have lots of greens - bagged and romaine lettuce, radishes, salad turnips and the first of the snap peas and cucumbers. It certainly is starting to feel like summer.

50 years! We are proud to be a vendor at the Willimantic Farmers' Market that is celebrating it’s 50th season this year! The longest continuously running farmers market in CT, that is quite an accomplishment. This only happens because of the amazing support of the Willimantic community and other businesses in town. Thank you Willimantic Brewing Company!

Cheers to 50 years!

We’re excited to partner with Willimantic Brewing Company to celebrate our 50th Anniversary! Throughout the month of June, every glass of Certified Gold purchased at Willibrew helps support the Farmers Market.

Thank you to Willibrew for supporting our anniversary celebration and helping us keep our community thriving.
