Whole Foods Market will open a new location in Avon, Connecticut on Wednesday, September 1. The store will feature products from the New England area, picked by Whole Foods Market North America’s local forager, Holly Long.
Special features of the store include a full-service seafood counter featuring Blue Point oysters and Smoked Atlantic Salmon from Ducktrap River of Maine, a full-service butcher that offers local fresh pork cuts from Overbrook Farm, specialty items like Camembert from Arethusa Farm, potato gnocchi from Nuovo Pasta, and a selections of over 400 beers from local breweries such as Athletic Brewing Co. and Brewery Legitimus.
To give back to the Avon community, Whole Foods Market will provide support to local organizations in celebration of the opening, including Forge City Works, The Children’s Museum of Connecticut, Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center, The Boys & Girls Club of Hartford, The Hartford Yard Goats Foundation, and FoodShare. Whole Kids Foundation will also grant $3,000 to the Talcott Mountain Academy to support its hydroponics enrichment class on growing garden vegetables.
