The Norfolk Farmers Market is considering a new idea: moving the market from Town Hall to Norbrook Brewery, where there would be more traffic generated by the brewery’s events.
Market Committee Chair Liz Auclair and member April Carter, met with Norbrook’s John Auclair and reported back to the full committee. Members agreed that it seemed a promising proposal and Carter was asked to contact farmers and vendors for their input.
Meanwhile, Auclair has approached the selectmen to ask for the appointment of more members, First Selectman Matt Riiska said. At their Wednesday meeting he told his board that the committee proposes one market a month during the summer at Norbrook and one holiday event.
“It’s not a bad idea,” Riiska said. “But we would have to consider our liability if we promote it on private property. I want to research it.”
