Fresh produce, smoked fish, grass-fed beef, award-winning pesto, baked goods, fresh doughnuts and coffee, plus Marvin Roberts, an expert in botany, discussing how to grow rhubarb and asparagus as part of the Garden Talks series…with all of this, Saturday proved to be a great opening to the Rockport Farmers’ Market in Harvey Park. An added bonus was the traditional Midsommer Fair, sponsored by Spiran Hall in Rockport, which featured traditional Scandinavian food, a real maypole, and Scandinavian folk singers. Check out the slideshow for more…and we’ll see you at the upcoming Rockport Farmers’ Market, this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.!
