Needham Farmers Market Says It's 'Harvest Time'

From the Needham Farmers Market:

Harvest time is upon us at the Needham Farmers Market! Get lunch at the Center Café, help your child draw a chalk drawing of their favorite vegetable, pick up healthy ingredients for dinner and dessert at the Market and enjoy live music! Fun, friends, and food at the Needham Farmers Market this Sunday, September 18!

Recently, Parent Talk and the Needham Farmers Market teamed up to get families to eat healthier, buy locally and support a great organization. We would like to thank the Needham Farmers Market shoppers who “weighed in” their produce, fish, and homemade baked goods to raise money for Parent Talk!

Vendors at the Needham Farmers Market this Sunday include MacArthur Farm, Neighborhood Farm, Boston Sword and Tuna, Deano’s Pasta, Fundamentally Nuts, Terri’s Toffee Haus, Carraig Farm and Apothecary, and Barefoot Books.

Sweet, fresh picked corn on the cob still on special too…Mac’s Dozen is 14 ears of corn for only $3! MacArthur Farm will return this week with their specialty Asian vegetables including water spinach, Tribou Vietnamese squash, eggplant, green and red peppers, Chioggia beets, and colored carrots. Try some fresh, organic broccoli, cauliflower, wax and green beans, pickling cucumbers, radishes, greens, various types of lettuce, rhubarb, herbs, zucchini, cousa, summer squash, sugar snap and shell peas, carrots, scallions, golden and red beets and of course, sweet strawberries, local and Maine blueberries and Acres Honey. Now a favorite, MacArthur Farm is also offering delicious and fresh, baked the same day Framingham Baking Co. Italian and French bread and rolls that have no preservatives.

Neighborhood Farm will have late August favorites including garlic, cherry, sungold, grape and slicing tomatoes and sweet peppers. Also, leeks, several types of potatoes, hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, scallion, cucumbers, kale, lettuces, leafy greens, fresh garlic, onions, zucchini, summer squash, carrots, beets, and more!
