Early Birds & Big Flavor: Highlights from Wakefield Farmers Market

If you came to this past Saturday’s market, you know—it was busy! The biggest lesson of the day? The early bird gets the worm… or the seafood… or the fresh-baked bread. You get the idea.

We work hard to host a thriving, welcoming farmers market, and there’s nothing better than seeing our vendors do well and our community showing up to support them. When customers return week after week to shop, chat, and enjoy everything the market has to offer, it reminds us why this work matters.

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on just a few of our incredible artisan food vendors—perfect for when you're craving something extra delicious:

🥙 Habibi Gourmet Foods

Hop in line (we promise it’s worth it!) and skip the airfare for authentic Egyptian and Lebanese cuisine. From creamy hummus to freshly baked breads, savory pastries, vibrant salads, baba ghanoush, and more—everything is handmade with fresh, quality ingredients. A true flavor journey!

🌱 Mind, Body, Snacks

Looking for snacks that nourish and taste amazing? Mind, Body, Snacks is a local gem serving up superfood-powered treats like date-and-nut brownies and turmeric-ginger bites. Good for the body, mind, and soul—what’s not to love?

🍅 Rita’s Sauce

So you grabbed some fresh pasta from L’Amore Della Pasta… now you need the perfect sauce. Look no further than Rita’s! Her rich marinara is slow-stewed with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and spices—a pasta (or pizza) lover’s dream. Feeling bold? Try the spicy version—it brings the heat in the best way.

🌶️ Big Rich’s Gourmet Hot Sauces & Marinades

Tucked under the shady trees of the market, you’ll find Big Rich bringing BIG flavor. Whether you’re sticking with classic BBQ or exploring bold options like Masala Bliss or Blueberry Hot Sauce, Rich has something to spice up any dish. Bonus: he’s got recipes on his website to help you use every drop.

We’ll be back next Saturday with more farm-fresh produce, local makers, live music, and the delicious community vibe we love so much. Come early, bring a tote bag, and let your tastebuds lead the way every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM at Hall Park (468 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA), and we’ll be there every Saturday through October 25. 

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!
