🌱 Are you a local grower, baker, or maker who’d like to join us in August?
Send me a message BEFORE July 20th to be included in next month’s event!

This event was created for one simple reason: to celebrate the incredible small businesses that make our community so special. Every stop you make supports a local family, and every purchase helps keep these little stands thriving.

So grab your friends, your family, or make it a solo adventure. Fill your trunk with local goodness, collect those stamps, and enjoy exploring everything Suffield has to offer.

Karenoughcrafts & Boutique is nestled in the heart of historic Suffield, Connecticut. They believe shopping should be an experience, not just an errand.
The shop features thoughtfully curated gifts, home décor, handcrafted candles, bath and body products, jewelry, plants, and unique treasures created by more than 25 talented local artisans. Every visit offers something new to discover.
Creativity is at the heart of what we do. They host hands-on DIY workshops throughout the year, where friends gather to learn, laugh, and create something beautiful to take home. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or trying something new for the first time, there's a seat waiting for you.
One of their favorite traditions is the handcrafted candle collection. Each candle is lovingly hand-poured by Karen and her dad, making every batch a true family creation made with care. Karen’s mom makes all of the sewing items including the bucket hats you’ve seen around town!
She says “Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, looking for a fun night out, or simply want to support local makers, we'd love to welcome you into our shop. Stop in, say hello, and discover why Karenoughcrafts & Boutique is where creativity, community, and handmade come together.”

Joe says “I have been involved with farming most of life helping with crops. I have been selling veggies as a part time business for about 15 years. I raise all my plants as well. I grow what people want from beans to broccol,cauliflower, cabbage to peppers, potatoes and 20 kinds of cherry tomatoes. Plus all the fall squash and 10+ kinds of pumpkins.
