Just a reminder that this weekend is the Concord Farm and Garden Fair, which begins with the 10th annual “Ag” Day farmers’ market in downtown Concord. Hutchins Farm will be represented, along with about ten additional Concord farms and a variety of local organizations that promote agriculture. Ag Day will run from 10 AM to 2 PM on Main St., which will be closed from the roundabout to Walden St. Because of the Ag Day market we will not be attending our usual Saturday market at Union Square, Somerville. Our apologies to our Somerville customers! The Farm and Garden Fair continues with garden tours on Saturday afternoon-get information online (http://concordfood.ning.com/) or at the Garden Club table at Ag Day.
Then on Sunday, a number of Concord farms will be hosting farm tours – Hutchins will be hosting two tours, one beginning at 1:30pm, and one at 3:30pm. No signups are necessary, just show up before the tour begins. Tours require walking on rough (dusty) farm roads and may include encounters with unfriendly weeds and stinging insects-good footwear is suggested, and folks with allergies to bees or wasps should take appropriate precautions. We hope to see you soon!
