Visiting Marshall Farmstand

Went over to Marshalls Farmstand on Saturday.  The renovations look great.  Their food and flowers are beautiful.

Tendercrop Again

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. if you haven’t pulled into Tendercrop Farm while driving down Route 1A in Wenham…you’re missing out.  I go in once each week to get some cheese, pears, blueberries, soup, and the absolute best pita chips you’ve ever had!  I’ll often grab a sweet treat for the boys and maybe grab some steak tips or eggs.

Head over now and also check out their adorable Easter decorations and flowers!

The Rockport Farmers Market is Coming to Town!

All the details about the upcoming Rockport Farmers Market are here on GMG! The  market will be small but mighty, featuring some great Rockport and Cape Ann-based food producers. Word on the street is that Brothers’ Brew will be there with fresh doughnuts AND and espresso maker so you can have your morning caffeine while shopping for all sorts of homegrown goodness! The first week, June 22nd, coincides with Spiran Hall’s annual Midsummer Fair, also held in Harvery Park where the Farmers’ Market is located, so you can grab some pickled herring and other Scandinavian goodness along with your produce.
