Billerica Community Farmers Market
 

Week #14: September 14

Dear Friends of the Billerica Farmers Market,

💕 Week 14: Celebrating Grandparents & Community!

This week, we’re celebrating the special people who have shared their wisdom, stories, traditions, and love with us—Grandparents! 👵👴

Join us for a wonderful Grandparents Day celebration at the Billerica Community Farmers Market, packed with music, demonstrations, family activities, and plenty of smiles. We’ll have clowns, alpacas, kids’ crafts, and lots of fun for the whole family! 🦙🎨🎶

And don’t miss one of our sweetest back-to-school traditions: Back to School Bucks! 📚🍎 Kids can stop by the Managers Tent for a coupon to choose one FREE fruit or vegetable from a farmer to take home and enjoy. It’s a fun way to celebrate the start of a new school year while encouraging healthy eating and supporting our local farmers.

So bring your grandparents, bring the kids, and bring the whole family! Week 14 is all about generations, community, and making memories together at the market. 🌽🍅🥕

See you at the market! 💚

📚 BCFM Back to School Bucks Event! 🍎

SEPT 14th ONE DAY ONLY!

A little market fun can go a long way toward a healthy school year! This week, we’re excited to introduce our Back to School Bucks Event, a special program designed to get children excited about fresh, local food.

Children in grades K-5 (and their homeschooled peers) may stop by the Market Managers tent for a coupon to be used to “buy” ONE free fruit or vegetable (up to $1) directly from our farmers to take home and enjoy. 🍎🥕🌽 🫜

It’s a simple, fun way to introduce children to the farmers who grow their food while encouraging healthy choices and supporting our local farm community.

Bring the children, let them pick their favorite, and send them back to school with a fresh taste of the Billerica Farmers Market! 🥦🍓🥒 🫑

BCFM Back to School Bucks are only valid for this one market.
