The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market provides consumers with fresh, nutrient rich food produced with environmentally benign methods and delivered with a smaller carbon footprint. Buying from local producers keeps food dollars in the local economy.

Cape Ann Farmers’ Market includes music, work by local artists, educational booths, children’s activities, and cooking demonstrations that create a festive community-building atmosphere. The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market is a huge success, attracting at least 1,200 visitors per market and reaches out to provide fresh, nutritious food for the entire community, regardless of income. Through The Food Project, they accept Women, Infants and Children (WIC) coupons, Seniors’ Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons, and Food Stamps.

Babson’s Farm Quarry

 

It’s been many years since the last man was blinded

by steel from a hammer or sliver of stone.

It’s been a long time since a hand or an arm

was blasted away  at the  Babson’s Farm quarry.

 

It’s been many years since our bedrock  was cut

for  bridges and buildings and roadways and streets.

It’s been a long time since steam engines have fired;

when  monuments shaped from our granite rose tall.

 

It’s been many years and the hammers are silent;

the cutting and hauling and lifting are done.

It’s been a long time and the workers are resting;

this gift they’ve bequeathed us –  this jewel in the sun.
