My Plate My Market

The Ellington Farmers Market will host the CT. Dept. of Agriculture's  innovative "My Plate My Market" program on September 10, 9-12:30, Arbor Park, Ellington.  The USDA recently replaced the old Food Pyramid model with the new "My Plate" symbol.  A registered dietitian will explain the new "My Plate" symbol guidelines in a personal hands on way.  Answers to specific food questions will be available to help market patrons get the most out of their local foods and have the healthiest diet possible
