Cassetti seeks vendors to expand Ansonia Farmers' Market
Year three of Mayor David S. Cassetti’s Ansonia Farmer’s Market may take on a new dimension as the city seeks to dramatically expand vendors there for the upcoming summer and fall season.
Gazy Brothers Farm of Oxford, the market organizer and management, will begin accepting applications and scheduling of market vendors. Those interested can complete and submit an application (link attached).
Last summer’s market added Ansonia-based Amski’s Delights (jams and pies), and fresh breads and mozzarella from Beldotti Bakery of Stamford.
The intent is to utilize the adjacent expansive park to its fullest capacity with quality vendors.
“The wonderful folks from Gazy Brothers Farm and I envision several additional vendors joining in this ever-growing downtown outdoor market,” Cassetti said.
The market opens June 18 and will be open every Friday through Thanksgiving from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Location is directly across from the train station on Main Street.

Learn about Frances Osborne Kellogg's favorite things in Zoom presentation
 |
Frances Osborne Kellogg |
Attend an online presentation at 6 p.m. May 18 and view rare photos of Frances and understand her life by learning about the things that brought joy to her life.
Born on May 11, 1876 during the Victorian Era, Frances was a Renaissance woman—running her family’s businesses, breeding prized Holstein-Friesian cattle, inviting celebrities to speak and perform in Derby, and holding many civic positions.
But it wasn’t all work and no play. Frances took time to smell the roses, literally. Register for this online talk to learn about her favorite flowers, animals, hobbies, and more.
After registering for this event, participants will receive the Zoom weblink.
The Osborne Homestead Museum, 500 Hawthorne Ave., Derby, celebrates the life of Frances Osborne Kellogg, an accomplished businesswoman and conservationist who was dedicated to preserving land for future generations.
Adjacent to the rolling hills and open meadows of Osbornedale State Park, Osborne Homestead Museum encompasses the house and grounds of the former Frances Osborne Kellogg Estate.
Originally constructed in the mid-1800s, the house was enlarged and completely remodeled in the Colonial Revival style during the 1920s.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, its restored interior now displays the original contents of the estate, which constitutes a significant collection of antiques and fine arts.
