The Holders Farmers Market, held on Sundays at Holders House, is a vibrant spot for organic produce, artisan crafts, and prepared foods, often accompanied by live music. Resellers might discover handmade jewelry, pottery, natural skincare products, and even unique plants there. For those seeking vintage treasures, Greenwich House Antiques, nestled in the heart of Greenwich, specializes in late 19th and early 20th-century items, including mahogany furniture, silverware, fine china, and unique glassware. An insider tip for resellers is to arrive early at Holders Farmers Market for the best selection and to bring cash, as some vendors may not accept card payments.
