This Week’s Vendor Spotlight

-> Bitz N Peace Farm is a truly unique farm located in Chelmsford, MA. Unlike conventional farms, Bitz N Peace is comprised of several smaller parcels of land across the Chelmsford area. This patchwork approach allows for the exceptional quality of their products.

The farm is skillfully managed by Nancy Araway and Mike Raisbeck, a dynamic duo with impressive backgrounds in high-tech and quality assurance. Their expertise is evident in everything they do, from the meticulous care they give their crops to the innovative techniques they employ in their farming practices. Nancy, often affectionately referred to as the "greening force" behind the farm, possesses a remarkable talent for nurturing flourishing plant life. Mike, on the other hand, brings his considerable mechanical skills to the farm , ensuring the smooth operation of the farm's machinery and infrastructure – think tractor maintenance, site preparation, and the physically demanding tasks essential to a thriving farm.

Beyond the traditional fruits and vegetables, Bitz N Peace Farm produces its own honey and maple syrup, harvested from bees and maple trees nestled near Chelmsford Center. This commitment to local, sustainable sourcing reflects their dedication to creating high-quality, flavorful products.

These five zucchini recipes bring summer joy, whether you’re in the mood for a bright salad, a quick pasta, or even chocolate muffins.

Zucchini Parmesan Pasta: A 25-minute dinner hero packed with sautéed zucchini and garlic.

Zucchini Carpaccio: Thinly sliced zucchini with lemon, herbs, and crunch—elegant and effortless.

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins: Moist, rich, and secretly veggie-loaded.

Avocado and Zucchini Salad: Creamy, crunchy, and full of flavor.

Salsa Taquera con Calabacita: A spicy twist on traditional taquera salsa using zucchini for texture and balance.
