Back in February, fire destroyed the entire barn and sugar house at Williamstown’s Sweet Brook Farm. Yet here’s Sarah at the market last Saturday – all smiles, selling her family’s signature maple syrups and maple cream. Sweet Brook hasn’t missed a beat (or a market) due to a combination of ingenuity, generosity, and hard work. Meet Sarah and many other local vendors this weekend and celebrate the sweet arrival of strawberries! Also local rhubarb, perfect for pie-making. more…
Cindy’s back this week, cooking up a storm!

Also find gourmet frozen pops, local veggies, plants, baked goods, pasture raised meats, cheeses, artisan work including jewelry, locally sourced wooden bowls and boards, and so much more. Live music by newcomer Tim Martin and market favorites Trio Cafe Budapest. Looking forward to a lovely Saturday at the market! more…

Thank you Lucy for giving us a great new look!

Fall is here and the air is crisp. Who went up Pine Cobble trail this week?! Saturday is the perfect day to bring some friends or family to the market. Our farmers are continuing a great season and we’ve got three more markets to celebrate their hard work and fill our refrigerators with fresh produce. Now’s the time to start “putting up” for winter. Freezing, pickling, and canning are great ways to bring the summer harvest into the cold winter months when you want some warm veggie stew. more…
