Last year, Fay School previewed the Farmer’s Market with an opening day in May (later launched as a weekly series in the fall). This spring, the school is holding another one-off special market the day before Mother’s Day.
The Saturday morning Farmers Markets will run from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. If you aren’t familiar with the market, it is hosted by the school but open to the community:
The market is open to all and will feature local produce, prepared food, and handmade goods by local vendors and Fay School faculty and staff. Join us, and bring your neighbors, as we celebrate our local farmers, delicious food, and a sustainable community!
For this session:
There will be a special Mother’s Day craft for children, games, and musical performances by Fay students and faculty members.
The event is being held in Harlow Circle at Fay School (in front of the Primary School), 25 Middle Road.
