To Our Valued Supporters:
WMGLD for going above and beyond to keep the electricity flowing, ensuring our market runs smoothly.
The Wakefield Food Pantry for their exceptionally generous sponsorship of our SNAP match program. Your support allowed us to put $10,000 worth of produce, fish, meat, dairy, and honey onto the plates of those in our community experiencing food insecurities.
Special Thanks to:
The Savings Bank for their generous sponsorship of our Live Music Program that added a rhythmic and joyful ambiance to our market, keeping us dancing week after week.
Wakefield DPW for your dedication to keeping Hall Park walkable and enjoyable for all.
The Town of Wakefield for graciously allowing us the use of the most beautiful spot for a farmers market in the State of Massachusetts.
Your contributions have gone beyond mere support; they have enriched the lives of our community members and strengthened the bond that makes Wakefield a truly special place.
To all of our wonderful customers, thank you for showing up in all sorts of weather each and every week to support local farmers and small businesses. You are an integral part of the chain that keeps the Wakefield Farmers Market going.
And finally, to all our vendors, whether you are there weekly or once a month, you make it spending 22 Saturdays a year together fun. You're kindness this season meant so much to me.
As we reflect on the season gone by, we carry with us the memories of laughter, the aroma of fresh produce, and the sense of community that permeated every corner of the Wakefield Farmers Market. We look forward to future seasons filled with the same spirit of collaboration, generosity, and shared joy.
Thank you once again for being the driving force behind the success of the Wakefield Farmers Market. Your dedication has made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for your unwavering support. We will see you all in 2024, as we celebrate our 15th Year, it promises to be the best one ever.
