A Look at My Uncles Garden

​

​

Who are they?

​

 

If you’ve ever stopped by Ellington’s popular Farmers Market, you’ll likely have noticed My Uncles Garden, an Ellington-based, year-round vendor selling their scrumptious jams, salsas, pickles, salads, and even an incredibly popular Bloody Mary mix!  The produce used in their products is grown right down the street from the market using organic methods.  If you frequent the market, consider yourself lucky because My Uncles Garden is exclusive to the Ellington Farmers' Market.

At My Uncles Garden, you’ll find a variety of different goodies from sweet and rich to savory and spicy, all with one constant: fresh, homegrown ingredients. Their booth is usually lined with jams like blackberry bourbon, strawberry rhubarb, apple pie, and peach, along with their fresh salsas like their roasted corn and peach habanero. Another specialty is their wilted cucumber salad, a secret recipe and wildly popular amongst market patrons. Being that all of their products come fresh from their garden, the merchandise varies depending on what’s in season.
