Ashland Farmers Market (AFM) will once again host a Pre-Thanksgiving holiday market, Saturday, Nov. 18, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Ashland Middle School cafeteria, 87 W. Union St. (Rt. 135). Shoppers can stock up on foods and traditional delicacies for their Thanksgiving table from 22 food vendors. In addition, 11 artisans will make finding the perfect gift just a little bit easier with stocking stuffers, winter accessories, jewelry and holiday-themed specials. AFM gift certificates will also be available from the market managers’ table.
This year crepe-maker La Maison a Gateau, the Coffee Trike and pastry baker/chocolatier/gelato maker Dulce D Leche will offer lunch and snacks to enjoy in a special seating and ‘shmoozing’ area, new this year.
Food vendors will include season favorites: Arcadian Farm of Holliston, Long Life Farm of Hopkinton, Upswing Farm of Ashland and several of the market’s sweets vendors, cheese and hummus vendors. Shoppers can stock up for the winter with honey, maple syrup, sauces, jams, pickles and pasta.
Thanksgiving turkeys can be pre-ordered from Shady Pine Farm and will be available for pick-up on Wednesday, Nov. 17, at the AFM outdoor location, 125 Front St. (on the grassy area across from the library).
Holiday pies can be pre-ordered from OMG Bagels at the Pre-Thanksgiving market for delivery at a local site to be determined on Wednesday, Nov. 22.
