Medfield Farmers' Market is Up and Running
The local vendors create a festive atmosphere every Thursday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. throughout the summer on the green at 26-28 North St.
The Mission Statement of the Medfield Farmers’ Market affirms its desire to “increase access to fresh, nourishing, locally produced foods and other products of local labor.” It attempts to carry out this mission each Thursday, afternoon from 2:00-6:00 from mid-June through the end of September on the green in adjacent to the First Parish Historic Meeting House (Unitarian Universalist Church.) Throughout the spring it offers an opportunity to farmers and interested local area vendors of crafts, food and service items to participate. Food vendors must have Medfield Board of Health approval.
The vendors for this 2018 season range from the familiar local Hot Dog Wagon to the new Medfield Bicycle Service, started this spring by an enterprising young student named Will Merz. Also, the returning popular Wrentham farmers at White Barn Farm offer fresh harvested, seasonal foods as well as CSA (community supported agriculture) shares that may be picked up at the market. Fresh honey, lip balm, insect repellant and more honey products are available from Little Beehive Farm of Holliston. Other farmers sell fruit, eggs, and even fresh lamb from Lightning Ridge Farm of Sherborn; selections ranging from ground lamb to chops and roasts. Although the fish vendor has been absent from the early market scene to date, he is expected to be on site weekly as soon as a permit is obtained..
There will be doggie treats in a variety of flavors from Sweet D Dog Treats and Nutty Bird natural home-made granola for a healthy breakfast or dessert. Local artists, Mary Millay and Tammy Shcuetz Cook will be selling original hand crafted cards and pottery respectively.

Not all vendors will be on hand weekly, many coming monthly or several times during the season but all will fit into the festive atmosphere. Parking for the market is available in the rear of the church and along North Street. By shopping at the market, customers are helping themselves to eat healthy food, telling the local vendors to continue to produce, and allowing the market to fulfill its mission.
