Countdown to Opening Day: 10 Days ‘Til We’re Back at the Market! 🎉

We can hardly believe it — Opening Day at the Wakefield Farmers Market is just 10 days away! Our team is buzzing with excitement as we prepare to welcome you back to Hall Park on Saturday, June 14, where we’ll be every Saturday through October 25, from 9 AM to 1 PM.

While you may be dreaming of berries, live music, and your favorite artisan snacks, the road to Opening Day starts months in advance. Behind the scenes, we're reviewing vendor applications, coordinating with musicians, mapping the layout, wrangling permits, and crafting an experience we hope you’ll love.

It’s not just us putting in the work — our vendors have been growing, creating, prepping, and perfecting all winter long. For many small businesses, summer farmers markets are the heartbeat of their year — not only for their income, but for the dreams and families those businesses support.

Why Shopping Small Matters

Supporting local isn’t just trendy — it’s transformative. Every dollar spent at the market helps someone live their dream, fuels your local economy, and often gets you a product made with more care and craftsmanship than you’ll find anywhere else.

While we’ve previously highlighted our farmers, fishers, egg and meat vendors, this week we want to shine the spotlight on some of the incredible artisan makers you’ll meet this season.

🪵 Sasquatch Woodworks

Cheese board envy is real — and Sasquatch Woodworks delivers. Think live edge home goods with eye-catching inlays that make your kitchen feel custom. Cheese boards, trays, wine holders — perfect for entertaining or gifting (even if it’s a gift for yourself).

🍵 TB’s Dots on Pots

We’re thrilled to welcome back TB’s Dots on Pots! Their one-of-a-kind ceramics range from coastal vibes to woodland ferns, with playful dotted details that are their signature. Find a new favorite mug or bowl that makes every bite feel special.

🌸 The Faux Floral Genie

Spring cleaning? Check. Now it’s time to refresh your space. Faux Floral Genie creates gorgeous home decor using hand-painted sola wood flowers in everything from wreaths to centerpieces. Zero maintenance, all the beauty.

🕯️ Fern x Flow

Candles that help you chill and save the planet? Yes, please. Fern x Flow offers small-batch, hand-poured soy candles and melts — and they donate 5% of every sale to eco-friendly organizations. Light one up and thank yourself later.

These are just a few of the talented artisan vendors joining us this summer. You’ll also find handmade soaps, locally designed jewelry, hand-sewn clothing, and so much more. Whether you bring your own tote or pick one up from a market maker, you’ll be ready to fill it with all the goodness the market has to offer. Opening Day is Saturday, June 14, from 9 AM to 1 PM at Hall Park (468 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA), and we’ll be there every Saturday through October 25.

We can’t wait to welcome back our amazing returning vendors and introduce you to some exciting new additions. Be sure to stay connected through our website and social media channels for updates, vendor spotlights, and weekly entertainment lineups.

Thank you for supporting local — we’ll see you at the market!
