Sweet Countdown: Just Over 2 Weeks Until Market Day! 🍓🍦

We’re officially counting down the days — Opening Day of the Wakefield Farmers Market is Saturday, June 14th, and we are more than ready to welcome you back to the lawn with fresh produce, live music, and all the delicious small-batch goodies you’ve missed all winter.

And you know what we really can’t wait for?

The sweet stuff.

From flaky croissants to flower-powered cookies to small-batch ice cream, this year’s vendor lineup is packed with decadent baked goods, hand-crafted confections, and treats for every kind of sweet tooth. Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the vendors who will be bringing the sugar and joy this season:

🥖 Purple Carrot Bread Co.

Based in Lowell, MA, Purple Carrot is an artisan bread company specializing in small-batch breads made without preservatives or fillers — many of which are naturally vegan. They’re known for their pillowy croissants, tender scones, and hearty, wholesome loaves that are as beautiful as they are flavorful. Whether you're picking up a baguette for dinner or a morning pastry to-go, they’ve got you covered.

His booth is a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds, with expertly crafted desserts that show his true passion for all things pastry. Make sure to check out his beautiful cakes on his website!
