The story of farms and farmers

Connecticut Farmer and Feast book signing to be held in Milford

Emily Brooks, author of Connecticut Farmer and Feast; Harvesting Local Bounty, will sign copies of her book at the Milford Farmers' Market in downtown, from 10 a.m. to noon July 16.  Connecticut Farmer and Feast introduces readers to nearly fifty passionate farmers who contribute to the locally grown produce, meats, cheeses, and other food items featured in farm stands and top restaurants throughout Connecticut.  The book tells the stories of these farms and farmers and includes individually created recipes that feature each producer's specialty food.  This is a heartfelt invitation into the lives of Connecticut farmers and the foods they produce and love.   Chef Jacques Pepin writes, "Emily Brooks connects you with these passionate artisans from all over Connecticut.  Your kitchen will never be the same again."  Hosted by Collected Stories Bookstore at Milford's Downtown Farmers' Market, River Street and Darina Place.  For more information on this event, contact Susan Shaw, 203-874-0115.      Editor's note: All information in this post was contributed.
