VOTE NOW to make our Market #1 in Massachusetts again! Deadline is MIDNIGHT tonight, September 9!

Wakefield Farmers Market  NEWSFLASH!

LAST CHANCE to keep  our market on the map and # 1 in Massachusetts

The deadline is midnight of September 9, 2013!


Just go to www.lovemyfarmersmarket.org  and pledge to spend $10 at your favorite farmers market. Wakefield Farmers Market MA, of course!

As of this Monday morning, we were #28 in the top 100 in the country, and only 55 pledge votes behind Attleboro at #24, the only other Massachusetts market on the list.  Just a little friendly competition.  :)
