This week has been quite the adventure. We have prepared the newsletter (pick one up at the market!), met with farmers, sent emails, gotten training to accept WIC, and made signs, lots and lots of signs. I'd like to think that each week brings new challenges and opportunities for the Charlestown Land Trust as we prepare the Charlestown Farmers' Market from location changes to security detail costs.
In the past two weeks, I've had over 5 different people ask me: Why is the Charlestown Land Trust involved in a farmers' market? and Why is the Charlestown Land Trust organizing a farmers' market?
Two very important questions that I'm sure we've all asked ourselves. The answer involves the Charlestown Land Trust's mission. The Charlestown Land Trust is interested in protecting open space for the benefit of all. Farmers actively use and protect open space through growing crops and raising animals. It seems very fitting for both the Charlestown Land Trust and the local farmers to work together towards "protecting open space for the benefit of all". The Charlestown Land Trust organizes the Charlestown Farmers' Market to promote the local farmers and what they do with open space. In supporting the Charlestown Land Trust, you also support the local farmers through the Charlestown Farmers' Market.
When you're at the farmers' market at the Cross Mills' Public Library, visit us at our booth and learn more about what the Charlestown Land Trust does in your community. If you're interested in helping with the farmers' market, let us know!
