Silen Auctions & Baked Goods

As you know, the Charlestown Land Trust is gearing up for the annual benefit auction on August 20th. This auction is the Charlestown Land Trust's main source of revenue for protecting open space, doing environmental outreach in the community, and hosting the Charlestown Farmers' Market among other great things the Land Trust does. To get everyone as excited for the auction as our auction committee, we're helping with a series of mini silent auctions at the market. These silent auctions tend to be centered on the farmers' market. You'll have the opportunity to bid on one item each week. Past items have included a great set of Poblano Farms Salsas, a watercolor print of the Charlestown Farmers' Market by Frances Topping, and a picnic for two at Mill Pond.


Stop by our booth at the market and find out what the auction item of the day includes. We're located right next to Isis's baked goods. So when you're munching on your savory rosemary cake, take a look at the Charlestown Land Trust booth and support the organization and open space!

Lunchtime & Sunshine

The farmers' market season is now in full effect. We opened the Tuesday farmers' market on Falcone Field last week. We had smiling faces ready to eat dinner. 


Join us today for the Tuesday market from 4-7pm. You'll find your favorite vendors from the Friday morning market.


With lunchtime right around the corner and the warmth outside, a crisp, clean soup sounds delicious. Stop by the market and pick up a few cucumbers for this quick recipe.

COLD CUCUMBER SOUP

5-6 cucumbers (peel if desired)
2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
2 Tbs. chopped dill
1 tsp minced mint
2-3 cloves garlic
1 Tbs vinegar
1 tsp salt
black pepper to taste

Place all ingredients except one cucumber into the blender and process until smooth. Chop the remaining cucumber and add it to the soup. Chill until ready to serve.
