Dear Friends of the Billerica Farmers Market,
🌶️☀️ Summer Harvest Fiesta is Here! ☀️🌶️
The fields are bursting with color, flavor, and abundance, and there’s no better time to celebrate the peak of the growing season than at this week’s Summer Harvest Fiesta! From sun-ripened tomatoes and sweet corn to fresh-picked berries and garden favorites, our vendors are bringing the very best of summer’s harvest straight to the market. Join us for an afternoon filled with great food, community, and entertainment. Enjoy live music from the Larry Evans Music, providing the perfect soundtrack for your market stroll. Nothing says Summer quite like a bowl of fresh, colorful salso. Be sure to stop by our featured cooking demonstration as Chef Stacy shows us how to make Farm Fresh Salsa, highlighting the fresh ingredients available right from our local farms. The 4-H Club will be joining us with some of their friendly animals. Whether you’re stocking up for summer meals, discovering new local products, or simply soaking in the season, this week’s market is the perfect place to celebrate the flavors and spirit of summer. We can’t wait to see you there! 🌽🍅🎶🌻

Vendor Spotlight: Briscoe Family Farm
by Mary L.
Briscoe Family Farm is a family farm in Dracut, Massachusetts, near the Merrimack River. Jay Briscoe and his wife grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables using sustainable practices and organic growing methods. What makes their farm unique is its diversity. Rather than focusing on just a few crops, they grow a little bit of everything, bringing fresh, seasonal produce to market each week. The Briscoe family has owned the land for more than 200 years, and after years as a homestead and fallow fields, it is once again a thriving farm. Stop by their booth and see what's in season!
