Greenfield — The Town of Greenfield Historical Society and the Town of Greenfield are proud to announce the 11th anniversary season opening of the Greenfield Farmers’ Market on June 23, 2017. The Farmers Market will run every Friday from 4 -7 p.m. in Middle Grove Park on Middle Grove Road through the second week in September.
The market will feature a blend of products you would expect to find at a Farmers Market including fresh vegetables and produce, honey, maple syrup, fresh eggs, specialty olive oils and spices, fresh fruits, baked goods, home-made pickles, local crafts and much more.
Tinney’s Tavern, a local Middle Grove landmark restaurant overlooking Lake Desolation, will provide Friday dinners to eat right at the Market while listening to music and gathering with friends. Pulled pork, sausage and peppers and other delicious salads will be served up every Friday.
“The Greenfield Farmers’ Market seeks to be more than just a place to shop: we want to be a Friday gathering place for the community,” said Mary Vetter, President of the Town of Greenfield Historical Society. “We will have something for everyone at this market and we urge families to come with their children since we are right next to a great playground area in the Town of Greenfield’s Middle Grove Park.”
Toward that end the organizers are planning on continuing to feature local musical talent at the market. Opening day will feature the local group, Happenstance. Rob and Jessica will play a variety of songs ranging from classic rock to Celtic folk. For years the market hosted a talented young musician that went on to become the winner of NBC’s The Voice – of course we are talking about Sawyer Fredericks.
“Sawyer probably played more at our market than any other musician we’ve had to date,” said Ron Deutsch, trustee of the Greenfield Historical Society that hosts the market. “I think we all knew that Sawyer was a special talent, just listening to him week after week you could not help but notice that this young man sang with the heart and soul of someone four times his age. He will be missed and never forgotten, but I assume he won’t be playing for veggies anymore.”
The Historical Society will also be offering tours of Historic OddFellows Hall – located just next to Middle Grove Park. The Historical Society has just completed work on the Chatfield Museum of Greenfield History on the second floor of the building that will provide residents with a look back in time. The museum will feature exhibits on historic activities in Greenfield including different industries that have developed over time and historic events that have occurred in the Town over the years. The historic Hall will be open during market hours and we encourage residents to come on in and check it out.
We urge all of the residents of Greenfield to come out and join us and support all of our local vendors and our community.
