The Ashland Farmers Market (AFM) is pleased to announce its second annual Mid-Winter Market. AFM encourages folks to come out of winter hibernation on Saturday, Feb. 10, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Ashland Middle School, 87 W Union St. (the same location as the Pre-Thanksgiving market). Join with neighbors and friends and spread the AFM love: get your sweetie a Valentine’s gift and purchase dinner fixins in one stop. AFM will host a Valentine-making workshop, so get those love poems ready!
The February market will feature some of its much-beloved regular food vendors and artisans as well as some new faces. Julie’s Z Breads, Upswing Farm and Yummy Mummy have already signed up, along with artisans James Heroux Designs, Earthly Wealth and Redback Studios. More vendors are joining every day.
