Here are some of the highlights

Here are some great links and posts that people have posted to our Facebook page.
From edibleBOSTON – Anatomy of a Farmers Market
Find out what it is like for the farmers, as they prepare for that day’s Market. The previous days preparations, and the effort needed to participate each and every week.
We talk about recipes, the farm, the weather, and in that moment relationships around food are born. This, I think, is the power of the farmers market.

From the Salem Evening News – With warm weather, farms picking early
Warm weather has many fruits and vegetables ripening early this year, and on some farms, fall crops will be ready well before Labor Day.
