Promotion of community gatherings, environmental awareness, local agriculture, and healthy living are among the primary goals connected with the resurrection of Parmelee Farm. The inauguration of the Parmelee Farm Market in 2015 is a natural extension of these goals and a project long in the planning.

The Farm Market is on hiatus but is excited to offer an Artisan Market on Saturday, September 7th 2019 from 10am-3pm. A great way to get a jump start on your holiday shopping! We are looking for artisans and crafters of all kinds to participate – all proceeds to benefit ongoing projects at Parmelee Farm.

Parking will be in the main parking lot in front of the farm house. Overflow will be directed to the middle school parking area, with use of the designated trail as access to the market.

Killingworth non-profits will have a designated area where they can promote their organization.

We invite local and statewide vendors and artisans to contact us regarding participation at Parmelee Farm Market. For more information, contact Market Coordinator Karen Milano at [email protected].

We have just a few vendors left who have not mailed in their fee/paperwork or just the vendor fee. We have been trying to reach you, please check your e-mail inboxes/spam folders if you are one of the few who still need to get this information in to us. If you have changed your mind and are no longer attending, please notify us ASAP, as there is a long wait list and it's only fair to us and the vendors who want to participate to have ample time to plan. Thank you, we look forward to a great market season and wish you all the same - 🌻🌻

The Artisan Market at Parmelee Farm8 months ago

Each year as we put our annual market together we try to bring some fresh experiences to our returning patrons. We are thrilled to welcome the Clarkes of Two Dogs Coffee Company out of Pomfret to our roster for the September 7th annual artisan market here at Parmelee Farm... for more of their story, read on...

Our hobby is collecting hobbies, and when we found coffee roasting something instantly clicked. Our original goal was to steer away from sugary coffees as we often found ourselves questioning what we were actually drinking if we have to add all this extra stuff just to make it taste decent.

We wanted something that tasted good without adding, sugar, cream, flavor syrups (sometimes even all of the above). So, like all hobbies, we began to research what gave coffee its flavor. Could there really be coffee beans that brewed a good cup of coffee without needing additional flavorings?

We went on a hunt - from local supermarkets to big named grocery stores to small coffee shops to craft roasters, we realized the coffee got better and better as we went further and further away from the distribution process.

After getting locally roasted beans and having the BEST cup of coffee we thought we could ever have, we started to think about ways we could make it better ourselves and and how we could control the variables.

Several books and online forums later, we started the pursuit of home coffee roasting! A messy, inconsistent batch of coffee beans later we have successfully roasted coffee beans ourselves! But it wasn’t pretty. Some were light, some were dark, and some even came out burnt. It was smokey as heck and to be honest quite terrible. Although frustrated, it made us more interested in the roasting process. We dove head first into understanding more about the roasting process and how to control the different variables. We experimented, we roasted hundreds of thousands of beans and each batch came out better than the last.

We started making bags for friends and family to see their enjoyment in a good cup of coffee. Before we knew it, we had requests for our delicious coffee roasts. An idea was born…..
Two Dogs Coffee Company.

Exciting news for this duo - they're opening a coffee shop in Danielson, their own brick & mortar! Follow their facebook page for more information...

The Artisan Market at Parmelee Farm, Saturday, Sept. 7th, 2024, 10 am to 3 pm, hope to see you there!
