A Farm & Folk Festival & Shindig In Glastonbury

The Connecticut Farm & Folk Festival is a shindig that’s got young roots, but it’s growing, blooming and bearing sweet fruit.

This is the second year for the festival, which wisely brings together people’s growing good-sense appreciation of locally grown crops, locally made foods and locally created folk music.

It’s a locavore’s dream! Food trucks, a farmers market and over a dozen musical acts on two stages will be among the fun on hand to celebrate the agricultural and musical richness of the region. If it’s not too late in the season, one might expect to see fiddleheads of both varieties — edible young ferns and actual headstocks of violins.

Among the musical offerings will be Canyon, Wise Old Moon, and the Meadows Brothers. The Girls From Ruby Falls (pictured), the newly hatched collaborative alter-ego, country-roots side project between singer/songwriters Heather Fay and Sarah LeMieux, will also be on the bill.

The Connecticut Farm & Folk Festival is Saturday, June 4, at the Glastonbury Elks Lodge, 98 Woodland St., South Glastonbury. Admission is $5.
