A brief description of the farmers’ market:
The UConn Dairy Bar sells University-produced dairy products and eggs, and educates the public about the farm-to-plate process. (http://www.dairybar.uconn.edu/history.html)
Last year, UConn also had a Farm Fresh Farmer’s Market on the Storrs campus. Much of the food is locally produced, including honey, fruit, and vegetables, and some are sourced from the student-run Spring Valley Farm, part of EcoHouse.
