The Ridgefield Farmers Market opened Wednesday from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Community Center, 316 Main St., and it will return on Wednesdays for those hours until Oct. 30.
Bob DiNucci, founder of Veronica’s Garden, had a pretty lavish display of organic produce grown on Hussar’s Camp Road off Old Ridgebury Road in Ridgefield. It looked like a well-stocked mid-summer farm market table should look.
Veronica’s Garden was selling tomatoes, green peppers, zucchini, basil, golden squash, eggplant, onions, potatoes and corn.
DiNucci said the farm concept started out small.
“We keep digging up the place,” DiNucci said. “It only started small.”
Today Veronica’s Garden covers about two acres of land.
The farmers market had seven or eight venders selling anything from fresh vegetables and fruit to homemade dog biscuits. It is on the south side of the Loundsbury House Community Center, 316 Main St.
