Winter Fare this Weekend!

Don't miss Winter Fare this Saturday from 10-2 at Greenfield High School!

This is the February answer to the Harvest Supper held each August. In addition to a farmers market with storage crops, greens, maple products, honey, pickles, bread, jam, and more, there will be workshops, a Soup Cafe put on by local restaurants using local foods, and a barter fair where you can bring any excess you might have in the way of storage crops, dried goods, or canned goods and trade them for something you don't have.

It promises to be a great community event as well as a wonderful way to get your hands on some more local food in the dead of winter. I was pleased to see that it will be at the high school this year--last year's venue, the 2nd Congregational Church, was extremely crowded. My son (then five months old) started to freak out almost as soon as we got inside so I had to leave almost immediately, which was decidedly disappointing.
