Local Veggies (and more!) Return at Wallingford Farmers Market May 27th for the 2026 Season

Wallingford Farmers Market has been recognized as one of the best farmers markets in the state. One of the many great reasons to live in Wallingford (and perhaps my favorite) is this seasonal farmers market. I look forward to Wednesdays for a little walk to Meridian Playground, 4920 Meridian Avenue N, never knowing what I might find: running into friends and neighbors, buying produce for the week, or finding a delicious meal for dinner at one of the many food stalls.…

Celebrate the Grand Reopening of FamilyWorks Food Bank on April 4th

I love grand reopenings of any kind—they celebrate something new while honoring what has come before.

I also volunteered with their diaper program, which is deeply needed and always appreciated by families. During my time there, I met…
