Topping Rose House, Tom Colicchio’s luxurious Bridgehampton restaurant-inn, is holding a farmers market on Saturday Jan. 18 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in its restored barn.

From the North Fork: cHarissa Moroccan condiment, preserves from Taste of the North Fork, North Fork Chocolate Co., Browder's Birds chicken and eggs (Southold), Long Island Mushrooms, Lieb Cellars (Mattituck) and Borghese Vineyard (Cutchogue),
From the Hamptons: Cavaniola’s Cheese Shop (Sag Harbor), Amagansett Sea Salt, Plain-T Ice Tea (Southampton), Stoked Granola (Montauk), Lorna’s Nuts and Goodies (East Hampton), Arlotta Food Studio Olive Oils (Southampton).
The kitchen at Topping Rose House will also be selling snacks.
