Westminster Farmers' Market

Westminster Farmers’ Market Report from Maple Heights Farm

Winding Down with the Pumpkin Festival

Join us for the Pumpkin Fest this Friday!  Come for a hayride, chowder, cider, coffee, homemade pumpkin donuts, and the musical talent of Gibby Lashua.  Between 3:00 and 5:00 there will be a pumpkin art contest for grades k-5.  Judging will begin at 5:00 and winners announced at 6:00.  Many thanks to Wiinhaven farm for providing the pumpkins and for the hay ride!  Donation for the pumpkin art contest is $5.00 and your child will be able to take home their painted pumpkin.  All proceeds will help fund Mass Agriculture in the Classroom programs in our schools.

  The Pumpkin Festival scheduled for this Friday, October 16, has been postponed until next Friday, October 23. We had to postpone due to the forecast of an abnormally early New England Nor'Easter.

  Current forecasts call for between a dusting and one inch of snow. Not much of a snow storm, but not very nice for the children to be decorating pumpkins in either.

  The Westminster Farmers' Market will attempt to open, unless the weather gets to darn severe. You know we are a rain or shine market. It is yet to be seen if we are a snow market also. It may be a good dry run (?) for the holiday markets we are planing.
