SHELTON — The city is mulling a proposal to expand the local farmer’s market to a year-round operation.
Stacia Monahan, a co-owner of the local Stone Gardens Farm, which grows a variety of vegetables on about 50 acres, spoke to the Conservation Commission recently about the idea. Monahan also proposed the formation of a sub-committee to oversee the possible year-round farmers market.
