Week #12: August 31

Dear Friends of the Billerica Farmers Market,

🌽 Shuck, Rattle & Roll!

It’s time to get your shuck on! 🌽 Week 12 at the Billerica Community Farmers Market is bringing all the fun of summer together with one of our favorite annual traditions—the Corn Husking Contest!

Think you’ve got what it takes to husk like a pro? Whether you’re competing for bragging rights or cheering from the sidelines, the Corn Husking Contest is sure to bring plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and maybe a little corn flying!

And that’s just the beginning! Enjoy live music, fresh local produce, family activities, and plenty of summer fun as we celebrate another great week at the market. Bring the kids, bring your friends, and of course, bring your appetite!

🌽 Fresh corn. Friendly competition. Live music. Family fun. That’s how we shuck things up at the market! 🎶

See you at the market! 🌽
