Westport Farmers Market: Guest Chef Lineup
You've waited all Winter. You've been patient. You've eaten produce flown in from countries far away, and had daydreams involving fresh blueberries. But now, your wait is over. It's time to rejoice with fresh local farm fare. The Farmers Markets are back in session!
Throughout the season, we will bring you coverage from Farmers Markets around Fairfield County, but we wanted to make you aware of an exciting culinary opportunity that can only be found at The Westport Farmers Market this Summer. Under the new leadership of "market master" Lori Cochran Dougall, this year's great roundup of 30 farms and vendors will be accompanied by a weekly "Guest Chef," and wait till you see the lineup. Mark your calendars people. I don't know about you, but some of my favorite chefs in Fairfield County are on this list. Don't miss your chance to meet and greet the people who make your mouth water.
The Westport Farmers Market will be held every Thursday from 10-2 at the Imperial Avenue Parking Lot adjacent to the Women’s Club through mid November. For more information about opening dates and vendors at the Farmers Markets near you, check out The Fairfield Green Food Guide.

Any idea if something like this might happen at the Sunday Farmer's Market?
Oh boy, something tells me July 8th and August 12th are gonna be the highlights of this...just a wild stab in the dark!!! LOL
Can't wait.
I don't believe that they are doing anything like this at the Sunday market. In fact, The Westport Farmers Market seems to be the only one I know of in FC doing this type of guest chef appearances. If anyone knows of others, do tell.
