Hi Friend-

Is it really possible? Could this really be the LAST Tuesday Market of the year? Thirty weeks have flown by in the blink of an eye. Thirty weeks of local food, crafts, fun, friends and music. You don't want to miss our last hurrah of the season.

Mother Nature will shine her late fall sun upon us this Tuesday - at least until the darkness descends and our market lights twinkle on. Kingfisher Duo will serenade you as you as you fill your basket with brussels sprouts, peppers, kale, winter squash, eggs, meat, mushrooms, bread and cheese. Fill your belly with apple cider donuts, popsicles and Thai food. Get a jump start on your holiday shopping for jewelry, handknitted scarfs, beeswax candles, maple syrup, marinades and teas. Come visit us at the market tent where you can donate a dollar and spin to win a prize from one of our vendors.

On a personal note, I'd like to express what an absolute pleasure it has been working with our incredible vendors and meeting so many of our wonderful, dedicated patrons during my first year of Tuesday Market management. I am so happy that I can continue this journey into the winter season. And before you know it, we will be moving the show back outside again in the spring. 

I hope to see you at our last outdoor market of the year!

Helen
Tuesday (and Winter!) Market Manager

Reminder: masks are now required at the market regardless of vaccination status except while eating and/or maintaining 6ft+ physical distance from others.

Crooked Stick Pops is back for the final market - who can pass up 60s and sunny in November? Julie can’t! She’ll have loads of your favorites including coconut iced coffee, green monster, and strawberry lemonade, not to mention some great fall combinations like pumpkin cheesecake and apple pie a la mode. 6 pops for $20 is on, so be sure to stock up!
Winter bouquets! Check out the beautiful dried flower arrangements at Many Graces.
Red Fire Farm will have an abundance of Brussels Sprouts, Ginger as well as all the other roots and greens of fall. Spinach, Salad mix and Lettuce are especially nice now with the cooler weather, and also Radicchio will help bring salads to another level!  Also, get them while you can because it will be the last green bell peppers of the fall!
MichelleBijou: specializing in Czech glass and mixed metals.
Thai Chili will be serving a chicken satay bowl this week!

We're delighted to welcome back local favorites, Kingfisher Duo!

Swansea and Jonathan's beautiful music eased us into the market season way back in April. This talented local duo will now ease us into the winter night with their traditional folk music played on a variety of instruments.
Catch them from 1:30-5pm.

Please use your Tuesday Market tokens! It's the last market of the season and there are lots of tokens floating around out there. We have rebranded and will be using new tokens starting with the Winter Market. Although we will still accept the Tuesday Market tokens, we'd like to recover as many of them as we can. Come cash them in on good stuff  this Tuesday!

SNAP at Tuesday Market

 
We have 2 ways that customers can use SNAP benefits at the market:

(1) HIP (Healthy Incentives Program) for Massachusetts SNAP users to buy fruits and vegetables from local farmers and receive an immediate reimbursement to their SNAP accounts of up to $40-$80 per month. We have several vendors who accept SNAP and HIP (see weekly vendor list). 

(2) SNAP Matching at the purple market tent allows customers to double up to $10 in SNAP benefits each week. Customers purchase tokens to use to shop for anything at the market that is SNAP eligible, including items not eligible for HIP reimbursement.

Any questions? Please ask us at the purple market tent where you can also double your SNAP dollars or click here for some Frequently Asked Questions

SNAP Matching at Tuesday Market in 2021 is generously funded by Florence-based business Valley Home Improvement and Baystate Health!

Thank you for helping to make local food more accessible to SNAP recipients.
