The LAST day of the market is this Saturday 3/31!

Jim and Kathleen Fownes will be closing the season with great music, and we will be thanking the market sponsors that helped make this season happen! We will also have kids’ activities provided by The Farm Education Collaborative, soil testing advice from the UMass Extension, market-made soup from the Black Sheep, and more!

See below for info on food happenings after the winter market, including a new cooperative venture!

Attend a Community Interest Meeting for a Food Cooperative!
