Northampton's first Winter Fare is happening this Saturday! It's from 10am - 2pm at Smith Vocational School on Route 9. It's sure to be a big event, so get there early for the good stuff. Local farmers will likely be selling an array of winter storage crops along with greenhouse-grown greens for cooking and salads, maple syrup, bread, cheese, etc. There will also be an opportunity to barter your own stored or preserved foods with others. I can't make it myself (and truth be told, I am still awash in local veggies from our last CSA box and final garden harvest of carrots and rutabagas, not to mention all that is in the freezer), but I look forward to hearing about it from anyone who goes!
According to CISA, there is also a one-day market scheduled for this Saturday in Gill:
Gill Farmers' Market
January 9, 2010 - One Day
9am-12pm
Gill Elementary School, 48 Boyle Road
Contact: Steve Damon at (413) 863-2850
And, of course, the Greenfield Winter Fare is coming up Feb. 6 - so get that on your calendar too!
