The Return of the Farmer’s Market

Last year, the town started hosting a farmers market in the town hall parking lot. This resumed this past week and will be held every Friday from now until mid September. Between the backyard garden, the victory garden, the farmer’s market and the organic cooperative, it will a good while before we need fruits or vegetables from the supermarket. Many towns have these options available, but don’t do a great job of publicizing it. In my case, the town hosts both the farmer’s market and the victory garden. Periodically checking out the township and public library web sites on a regular basis is a good place to start and the following two sites are also very good.
