National Farmers’ Market Week

It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through the first season of the Mashpee Farmers Market.

Things we know that are working

Our vendor/customer relationships have been a resounding success: With over 35 regular and 25 rotating vendors, we’ve been able to serve our community with a diverse range of fresh food, produce, meat, seafood, flowers, scones, cookies, cakes, pies, and beer. The food has come from all corners of Massachusetts, a testament to our strong partnerships.

Entertainment—Thanks to Naukabout Beer Garden for keeping the live and local acts coming to play for everyone every week. We have had young and old acts perform for us, and it is a joyful market.

Kids—Oplaysis has consistently offered our kids a place to come and just be kids. Whether it’s pay what you can or just a simple ‘thank you,’ life at the market is all about joy and simplicity for our kids.

The Mashpee Community: You have made this volunteer position joyful by getting up, making lemonade, picking up honey, and hosting every Sunday morning. Thank you for making this worthwhile!

Dogs: We LOVE our furry friends! We have fresh water and a field to play in, and our owners have been beyond respectful of cleaning up.
