SUMMARY:Stonington Village Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Stonington Village Farmers Market has become one of the defining Saturday morning traditions along the Connecticut shoreline\, bringing together local farms\, food vendors\, artisans\, musicians\, and neighbors inside and outside the historic Velvet Mill. Running year-round since becoming a permanent seasonal fixture in 2008\, the market transforms with the seasons\, moving outdoors during the warmer months and indoors during late fall and winter while continuing to serve as a gathering place for the community. \nThe market offers far more than produce stands. Visitors can browse locally grown vegetables and fruits\, cheeses\, baked goods\, meats\, seafood\, maple syrup\, flowers\, mushrooms\, prepared foods\, and handmade crafts while live music plays in the background. The atmosphere feels distinctly coastal New England\, blending small-town community energy with the creativity and food culture that defines Stonington Village. Families\, dog owners\, and longtime locals mingle throughout the morning while vendors showcase everything from handmade soaps and pottery to organic kombucha and Mediterranean cuisine. \nWhat makes the Stonington Village Farmers Market stand out is how deeply connected it feels to the rhythm of the region itself. Some visitors arrive early for greenhouse spinach or fresh seafood before it sells out\, while others come simply to wander with coffee in hand and reconnect with neighbors. Between the local farmers\, prepared food vendors\, musicians\, and rotating artisan booths\, the market has evolved into more than a shopping destination. It has become a weekly community ritual that reflects the character\, creativity\, and agricultural roots of southeastern Connecticut. \nParticipating Vendors & Farms \n\nAPIS VERDI\nBroad Brook Acres\nDavis Farm\nISSA Catering\nJon Fish\nSeacoast Mushrooms\nSugar Maple Farms\nSweet Acre Farm\nWakin’ Up Waggin’\n18th Century Purity Farm\nStonyledge Farm and Studio Farm Products\nSummer Hill Catering\nCato Corner Farm\nTreatzles\nFiber + Mud\nYALLA\n\nSponsors & Organizers \n\nStonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA)\nVelvet Mill\n\n

SUMMARY:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops (21+)
DESCRIPTION:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops offer a hands-on creative night for adults looking to trade screens and stress for clay\, conversation\, and a little wine on Fridays through the summer. Designed as a relaxed social workshop for ages 21 and over\, the event combines pottery instruction with a bring-your-own-drink atmosphere that turns the evening into part art class\, part night out. \nThe workshop begins with a professional wheel-throwing demonstration before participants move into creating their own pottery pieces either on the wheel or through handbuilding techniques. Instructors guide guests through the process step-by-step\, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before. Clay and firing for up to three finished creations are included as part of the workshop. \nWhat makes Sip ‘N’ Spin stand out is the balance between creativity and atmosphere. Rather than a formal class setting\, the evening leans into a casual\, social energy where guests can laugh through uneven bowls\, experiment with clay\, and enjoy drinks while trying something new. Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n

SUMMARY:Stonington Village Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Stonington Village Farmers Market has become one of the defining Saturday morning traditions along the Connecticut shoreline\, bringing together local farms\, food vendors\, artisans\, musicians\, and neighbors inside and outside the historic Velvet Mill. Running year-round since becoming a permanent seasonal fixture in 2008\, the market transforms with the seasons\, moving outdoors during the warmer months and indoors during late fall and winter while continuing to serve as a gathering place for the community. \nThe market offers far more than produce stands. Visitors can browse locally grown vegetables and fruits\, cheeses\, baked goods\, meats\, seafood\, maple syrup\, flowers\, mushrooms\, prepared foods\, and handmade crafts while live music plays in the background. The atmosphere feels distinctly coastal New England\, blending small-town community energy with the creativity and food culture that defines Stonington Village. Families\, dog owners\, and longtime locals mingle throughout the morning while vendors showcase everything from handmade soaps and pottery to organic kombucha and Mediterranean cuisine. \nWhat makes the Stonington Village Farmers Market stand out is how deeply connected it feels to the rhythm of the region itself. Some visitors arrive early for greenhouse spinach or fresh seafood before it sells out\, while others come simply to wander with coffee in hand and reconnect with neighbors. Between the local farmers\, prepared food vendors\, musicians\, and rotating artisan booths\, the market has evolved into more than a shopping destination. It has become a weekly community ritual that reflects the character\, creativity\, and agricultural roots of southeastern Connecticut. \nParticipating Vendors & Farms \n\nAPIS VERDI\nBroad Brook Acres\nDavis Farm\nISSA Catering\nJon Fish\nSeacoast Mushrooms\nSugar Maple Farms\nSweet Acre Farm\nWakin’ Up Waggin’\n18th Century Purity Farm\nStonyledge Farm and Studio Farm Products\nSummer Hill Catering\nCato Corner Farm\nTreatzles\nFiber + Mud\nYALLA\n\nSponsors & Organizers \n\nStonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA)\nVelvet Mill\n\n

SUMMARY:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops (21+)
DESCRIPTION:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops offer a hands-on creative night for adults looking to trade screens and stress for clay\, conversation\, and a little wine on Fridays through the summer. Designed as a relaxed social workshop for ages 21 and over\, the event combines pottery instruction with a bring-your-own-drink atmosphere that turns the evening into part art class\, part night out. \nThe workshop begins with a professional wheel-throwing demonstration before participants move into creating their own pottery pieces either on the wheel or through handbuilding techniques. Instructors guide guests through the process step-by-step\, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before. Clay and firing for up to three finished creations are included as part of the workshop. \nWhat makes Sip ‘N’ Spin stand out is the balance between creativity and atmosphere. Rather than a formal class setting\, the evening leans into a casual\, social energy where guests can laugh through uneven bowls\, experiment with clay\, and enjoy drinks while trying something new. Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n
