The Marblehead Farmers’ Market will launch its 29th season on Saturday, May 31, 9 a.m.-noon, with lots of returning favorites and some surprises.
“I’ll be at the market all morning, stop by and grab a cup of coffee from the Scouts and enjoy the day,” said Farmers’ Market Manager Steve Flower. The market is located by the Veterans Middle School.
So, what’s new this year?
There’s High Tide Farm with its sustainably grown vegetables, fruits and flowers. There’s also Big Chef Little Kitchen, selling pickles, ferments, hot sauces, relishes and marinades.
Gleesgoodies will sell allergen-friendly, keto-friendly and gluten-free cookies, cakes and biscotti.
“Bake & Bites joined us late in the season last year and will be new to many market goers,” Fowler added. “They will have empanadas as well as other Dominican food and baked goods.”
As for returning vendors, they include: Bear Hill Farm, Anything Grows Farm, Old Stone Farm, Sow and Savor Farm, Middle Earth Farm, Clark Farm, County Road Farm, Cloutman Mushrooms, A&J King Artisan Bakers, Bucovina Cuisines, Seafood Express, Copper Dog Books, Something Sweet Without Wheat and National Sharpening.
“We expect to have a couple craft vendors for opening day and then two to five per week,” Fowler added.
Live music is also coming back to the market.
“Performers will begin on June 7,” Fowler said. “Many longtime favorites will be returning this season. Louisa Morgan does a great job scheduling performers for the Farmers’ Market.”
