That day was so successful, that we have decided to do it twice this season. <br /><br />“Wool Days” are January 22nd and February 12th during market hours. This event will appeal to those who knit, crochet, weave and enjoy fiber arts. Our farm vendor list includes Bally Duff Farm (Harmony, RI) Foxhill Farm (Lee, MA), North Brook Alpaca Farm (Berlin, MA), Rag Hill Farm (Colrain, MA), Tintagel Farm (Brookfield, MA), Windy Hamlet Farm (W. Brookfield) Windy Hill Farm (Lakeville, MA) and Winterberry Farm (Leverett, MA).<br /><br />Fresh vegetables are offered by farmers’ who have learned the season-extending techniques of cool season growing using high tunnels, growing hydroponically and through winter storage. We are so fortunate to have these farmers, who will be traveling from the Pioneer Valley, Cape Cod, Littleton and Charlton to provide us with fresh Massachusetts grown vegetables.<br /><br /> Specialty food producers include Vermont and Massachusetts farm cheeses, maple and honey products, low-sugar jams, dessert sauces, black bean salsa, fresh pasta & sauces, pickles and Bola Granola.<br /><br /> Plenty of breakfast and lunch foods are available to enjoy during the market. Danish pastries, warm apple pie bread, bagels, chowders, smoked fish, pulled pork sandwiches, selections from The Herb Lyceum, Giovanna Gelato, Goodies Cookies, baba ganoush, marinades, dressings, dips and grape leaves. Beverages include Sudbury-roasted, fair trade Karma Coffee and fourth generation Tower Root Beer. <br /><br /> Globe Fish brings freshly caught seafood, and frozen meal kits from Healthy Habits Kitchen are available.<br /><br /> In August, legislation was passed, allowing farm wineries to attend farmers’ markets, offer tastings and sell bottled wines. In celebration of the passage of this bill, we will be having “Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day” on January 29th during market hours.<br /><br />If you would like to subscribe to the weekly email detailing vendors that will be present each week, please send a note to pegm@russellsgardencenter.com, or follow us on the ‘Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market’ Facebook page for updates.<br /><br />Russell’s Garden Center is located at 397 Boston Post Road, Wayland, MA 01778.

Just a few minor things.<br />1. You should really be able to know where your coffee comes from when you go to Starbucks. Almost all of their coffee is bought directly from farmers most of their coffees will show where the coffee comes from. Obviously they can't put everything on the pack but I do know that their relationship and buying practices means they can trace more than 90% of their coffee to very specific farms. Check out their CAFE Practices as this is one criteria - transparency right from the farmer to the cup.<br />Lastly, there just isn't enough shade grown coffee in the world. You should engage with companies like Starbucks, Peet's, Tully's and the "instant coffee giants" like P&G, Kraft, Nestle and Sarah Lee - these four buy the majority of coffee in the world. Speak to them about getting more shade grown coffee grown in the world. And include the 3rd party certifiers as well - like Fairtrade - as most of their coffee do not come from shade grown either.<br /><br />My favourite coffee doesn't come from shade grown. Unfortunately, but it is still one good cup of coffee - Ethiopian Sidamo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430957673470405984.post-63905328738076368432010-02-09T06:42:07.601-08:002010-02-09T06:42:07.601-08:00So helpful--thank you!
