Walter Stewart's Market Meets Demand for Local and Sustainable Food

By Analiese Paik

Walter Stewart’s Market in New Canaan wants shoppers to have a fantastic experience buying fresh, local and sustainable food in their store and goes above and beyond to deliver on that goal. I was delighted to find CT Grown fruits and vegetables in abundance, Millstone Farm eggs, Arethusa Farm milk and cream, grass-fed and organic beef, pastured lamb, wild seafood, excellent artisan and farmstead cheeses, and an enticing variety of local and organic specialty foods. Those too busy to shop at the store can order online for home delivery or pick up in front of the store. Text them when you arrive and a car hop will load your order and collect payment using a mobile app. Add a few bottles of craft beer or wine to your order from Stewart’s Wine & Spirits to save yourself another trip.

Bins of seasonal produce and fruit from Connecticut farms greet shoppers at the “farm stand” located just outside the entrance to this family-owned grocer that’s been serving the community for three generations.
