Something for all ages at Ashland Farmers' Market
The Ashland Farmers Market (AFM) will hold their annual pre-Thanksgiving market at the Ashland Middle School Gym, 87 W Union St. (Rt. 135), on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 9AM to 1PM. Visitors can purchase their Thanksgiving fixings and get some holiday shopping done all in one trip from over 40 vendors, including 16 artisans.
AFM vendors will once again donate fresh produce to Ashland Youth and Family Services and the Ashland Food Pantry, which distributes it to Ashland families in need.
“The partnership between the Ashland Food Pantry and the Ashland Farmer's Market has been crucial to the health of the neediest families in town,” said Cara Tirrell, Director of Ashland Youth and Family Services.
