July Market News

NEWS: Due to the lack of space in the main parking lot, we have moved all the craft vendors up to the shady lawn of the Jefferson Cutter House by Mass. Ave. You will find inexpensive jewelry, handmade aprons and bags, cloth creations, pottery, paintings, photography, cookies - including gluten free very good ones. The coffees and teas will remain down with the farmers. We have one new food vendor -- TTBud popcorn - homemade popcorn from people who grew up in Arlington - one kind with both salt and sweetener. We also have Sassy Sauces -- they bring various sweet and chocolate sauces. Every other week brings the knife sharpener -- look for them Wednesday, August 6th.

Respecting the farmers, we welcome Hmong Farm with their southeast Asian veggies, such as baby bok choi and pea tendrils. Nicewicz Orchard is now there bringing blueberries and corn, also zucchinis! The farmers are already bringing native tomatoes (not greenhouse ones) and the first native corn is in! Summer squash is already here!

Hopefully the weather will become more moderate -- the two weeks ago market had us all hanging on to the tents and weathering the hail coming down, thunder and lightening!! Fortunately no loss of tents. At the Market today, and next week too, Intern Rachel will be handing out $5 gift certificates for the Crafts -- stroll up there to view their creations!
