Smithy Market & Cafe, New Preston
Locally sourced food (b,l; $$)
A gem in the Litchfield area, The Smithy Market is not just extraordinarily charming and delicious, it’s also all locally sourced, made, and grown, whether eggs, dairy, produce, flowers, or meat.
There’s fresh baked goods (gingerbread! snickerdoodles!), salads, sandwiches, meals for pick up or to dine al fresco.
The Market’s building is an authentic recreation of the village’s mid-19th century blacksmith shop and upstairs is an artist gallery featuring local artists.
Cafe
Across the road, The Smithy Cafe at 9 Main is a local place with decent sized portions of lovingly prepared food served with warmth. Great oatmeal!
