(NCHC) is pleased to announce that its popular Wednesday Farmers Market, featuring Gazy Brothers Farm, is returning for the 2022 season on Wednesday, June 1. Open to the public, the weekly Farmers Market will operate every Wednesday until Thanksgiving, from 11 am to 3 pm in the NCHC parking lot at 120 Connecticut Ave., Norwalk, CT 06854. The Farmer’s Market accepts EBT/SNAP, credit and debit cards, and cash, in addition to NCHC’s own Farmers Market vouchers, a patient-only program funded by contributions and grants that stretches patients’ food dollars. In keeping with the health center’s concern for the well-being of our patients and our community, visitors can also take advantage of health, wellness and nutrition information, and community tables and demos. The Norwalk Community Health Center Farmers Market layout and experience prioritizes the health and safety of patrons, farmers, volunteers, and staff. In addition to a hand sanitizing station, patrons must wear masks and observe appropriate social distancing. Breaking down barriers to healthy food choices for patients and the community is one of the ways that NCHC, a nonprofit healthcare provider, is dedicated to the wellbeing of the community.
