American Farmland Trust is having a competition, America’s Favorite Farmers Market. If half of our Facebook friends voted, we would be well in the lead for the state of Massachusetts. If everyone votes, well, that would send a message to the rest of the state. That message would be:

Hello. This is the Salem Farmers’ Market, the Salem in Massachusetts. We not only have a wonderful group of farms, but our vendors overall are great. Don’t get me started on the people that come to our market every week, I would go on and on about how fantastic they are, and you might get bored after about an hour as I wax poetic about how much we appreciate them. But if we win, or at least take Massachusetts, then we can add one more thing to the list of great things going on in Salem right now.

Please take a few minutes, and vote for us. It would be very much appreciated. You can only vote for each market once.

Yesterday at the market was a beautiful day. Over 3,000 people attended  including Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray, Salem Mayor Kimberley Driscoll and State Representative John Keenan. With the mellow music of Brad Byrd playing in the background people enjoyed cider donuts and cupcakes while they shopped for lobsters, bok choy, corn on the cob, raspberries…

Market fan, and buyer of fresh food, Justin Walsh, has posted a couple of photos from the last few weeks; dinners he has made with some of the food he bought at the Salem Farmers’ Market.  We have this dish which looks delicious, healthy, and green (with some purple). He followed that up with this beauty, many ingredients from Maitland Mountain Farm.

Other market news, Flats Mentor Farm is here to fill your Asian vegetable needs. You will find them next to Simone Farm, in front of the Old Town Hall, by Maitland Mountain Farm. Stop over next week, say hello.
