The Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market runs weekly on Saturdays (through March 12) from 10 AM to 2 PM in the greenhouses of Russell’s Garden Center, featuring over 30 vendors.
Fresh vegetables are offered by farmers’ who have learned the season-extending techniques of cool season growing using high tunnels, growing hydroponically and through winter storage. We are so fortunate to have these farmers, who will be traveling from the Pioneer Valley, Cape Cod, Littleton and Charlton to provide us with fresh Massachusetts grown vegetables.
Specialty food producers include Vermont and Massachusetts farm cheeses, maple and honey products, low-sugar jams, dessert sauces, black bean salsa, fresh pasta & sauces, pickles and Bola Granola.

Last year we had a “Wool Day” at the Winter Market and invited New England farmers who produce their own wool from animals that they raise. That day was so successful, that we have decided to do it twice this season.
“Wool Days” are January 22nd and February 12th during market hours. This event will appeal to those who knit, crochet, weave and enjoy fiber arts. Our farm vendor list includes Bally Duff Farm (Harmony, RI) Foxhill Farm (Lee, MA), North Brook Alpaca Farm (Berlin, MA), Rag Hill Farm (Colrain, MA), Tintagel Farm (Brookfield, MA), Windy Hamlet Farm (W. Brookfield) Windy Hill Farm (Lakeville, MA) and Winterberry Farm (Leverett, MA).
In August, legislation was passed, allowing farm wineries to attend farmers’ markets, offer tastings and sell bottled wines. In celebration of the passage of this bill, we will be having “Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day” on January 29th during market hours.
