It’s the height of the season at the Marblehead Farmers’ Market, offering a plethora of fresh produce including apples, peaches, berries, corn and tomatoes. Shoppers can also find peppers, potatoes, beets, carrots, cucumbers, beans, squash, a wide variety of cooking and salad greens and more.
Participating farms this week include Anything Grows, Middle Earth Farm, Grant Family Farm, Bear Hill Farm, Clark Farm, Brookford Farm and Old Stone Farm. Nick Cloutman will have mushrooms and Al’s Hives and Honey will have honey for sale.
Scouts BSA Troop 79 will be on hand to brew coffee and tea as well as offering lemonade and water. National Sharpening will also be at the market to sharpen knives and other tools.
