The farmers market
can mean different things to different people; some, enjoy picking up the fresh
crop of vegetables in their farmer specific CSA shares, for others it’s the
fresh fruit for pie making and preserves, and still for more
it’s about the locally made sweets and breads that just taste better than store
bought. For Mass Farmers Markets, the farmers market season symbolizes new
growth and opportunity.
As our summer season
moves into full swing, we are excited to see new and veteran faces. Currently you can find a bounty of locally produced goodies including fresh raspberries, snap peas, fennel, salad greens, baked goods, jams and jellies, wine, as well as the sweetest strawberries. This delicious and versatile
fruit is the focus of our Annual Strawberry Dessert Festival going on right now
through July 7th!
If you haven’t
visited a participating restaurant yet, now is your chance! Only 3 days left so act fast. Check out our list
of participating restaurants AND their sweet strawberry desserts. A portion of the
proceeds of each of these menu items goes toward Mass Farmers Markets to help
us help support the local communities.
Make a weekly date at
your local farmers market, as most are already in full swing! Visit our
website, enter your zip code in our Market
Finder
to find information about the market closest to you. For member farmers markets
you can even see the vendors and their products (just look for the little
tractor).
