CELEBRATE YOUR FARMER FOR LABOR DAY!

For many of us, Labor Day means little more than the end of summer and a day off from school or work. This year, take some time to appreciate the true meaning – a celebration of one of the biggest ethical achievements in America with the success of the original labor movement at the end of the 19th century.

This year, we want to celebrate some of America’s hardest workers – our farmers, especially those who maintain small family farms and sell their bounty at farmers markets throughout the state. These people work incredibly long and difficult days to ensure you have the best produce, meat, dairy and eggs to feed your families. Who better to celebrate this Labor Day?

The team at Mass Farmers Markets made picnic meals of our favorite farmers market fruits and vegetables. Sweet corn grilled on the cob, a fresh salad made with tomatoes and cucumbers, and colorful bell peppers and carrots that we dipped in hummus! You can throw in some of your favorite locally made cheese too.
