  • Saturday, January 26, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm – Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day

    The fourth season of the Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market has begun! The Market runs weekly on Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM through March 9 at Russell’s Garden Center, 397 Boston Post Road (Route 20), Wayland. Over 40 food vendors attend weekly, bringing fresh vegetables, cheese, meat, maple products, honey, eggs, fish, jam, pickles, pasta and other specialty foods. Come enjoy truly gourmet breakfast and lunch, while sitting in a lush, warm greenhouse.

    On Saturday January 26, we will have our 3rd Annual Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day from 10 AM to 2 PM. Legislation passed in August 2010 allows both tasting and sales (by the bottle) of wine produced from farm wineries within our state at farmers’ markets and other agricultural events. We are delighted to have nine Massachusetts farm wineries celebrate this event with us:

    Alfalfa Farm Winery (Topsfield)

    Coastal Vineyards (S.Dartmouth)

    Green River Ambrosia Meadery (Greenfield)

  • Saturdays through March 10, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm – Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market

    What will you find at the indoor farmers’ market? Local farmers grow root crops during the summer, and these can be stored and sold during the winter months. High tunnels and greenhouses make it possible for farmers to provide greens and herbs year round. Additional farm items include meat (beef, chicken, pork & lamb), mushrooms, cheese, eggs, maple products, honey, cornmeal, yarn and other farm fiber goods. The market will also host specialty food vendors selling locally produced pasta, jams, salsa, pickles, granola, gelato, hummus, coffee, hot cocoa, baked goods, root beer, salts & sugars, nuts, sauces & marinades, all-natural dog treats. Seating is available in our lush greenhouse to enjoy gourmet breakfast and lunch. Special events this year include Farm Fiber Days (formerly known as Wool Days) on Saturday 21, and on Saturday, January 28 the second annual Massachusetts Farm Wineries Day, with eight wineries offering samples of their wine.
