Tuesday Market Returns this week!

Hello Tuesday Market Friends-

Tomorrow is the day! Tuesday Market returns!

Signs of Spring are everywhere with the warmer weather taking hold. Our fertile Valley is waking up and ready to provide us with all the food we need.  Starting tomorrow you will need to go no further than the plaza behind Thornes Marketplace to find all the best local food. Every Tuesday from now until November 8th, from 1:30-6:30.

We can’t wait to see you again!

Tomorrow will be a special day as Mayor Narkewicz joins us with Phil Korman from CISA at the start of market to honor Tuesday Market founders, Oona Coy and Ben James for the tremendous impact that their hard work has had on food access, community building and the vibrancy of the city. We will also celebrate the new chapter of Tuesday Market’s life as a program of Grow Food Northampton.

We are proud to be starting the year knowing that we will be able to provide a $10 match to all SNAP customers throughout the entire season. Thanks to CISA’s ambitious fundraising and implementation of the SNAP and Save program throughout the Valley, we are one of many markets who will be matching $10. We have so much gratitude for CISA’s efforts to make shopping at the farmers market affordable for all. Help us spread the word by telling your friends and family about this program or stop by the purple market tent and we will be happy to provide more information.

The Hampshire Regional YMCA will be joining us this week with some kids activities to promote their programs. Apex Orchard will be making a special spring appearance with a deal on cold storage apples. Cricket Creek Farm will be trying something new- making grilled cheese sandwiches with their own cheese and bread. Old Friends Farm will have microgreens, pea shoots, spinach, braising kale, carrots, spices & spice blends, ginger syrup, turmeric honey (all are made with their ginger and turmeric) and Market Cards. Old Friends Farm Market Cards make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift! Justamere Tree farm will have this year’s maple syrup… And so much more!

You’ll find all your favorite vegetable farmers with more variety than you ever thought possible on April 26th. We’ll have a couple new vendors and as usual you can plan to see something you’ve never seen before!

Happy Spring, Friends, thanks for making us part of your Tuesday!

See you at market,

Niki Lankowski, Market Manager
