June 21st has the most daylight of the year, and you’ll need every hour of it at the Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market.
As we return from our Gaspee Day exile to our home at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet, we’ll be hosting an e-waste collection by Goodwill Industries. They will be set up in the upper parking lot, and will gladly help you unload your vehicle. Computer components, electronics, small appliances and “anything with a plug” will be accepted.
It’s also the annual Green Used Book Sale; donated books, CDs and DVDs will be for sale starting at 9 AM (no early birds, please!).
HARDCOVER, $2 each or three for $5
PAPERBACK, $1 each or three for $2
CHILDREN’S, three for $1 or ten for $3
Last half hour (11:30-12), fill a bag for $5
Funds raised from the book sale will enable us to bring Cranston public school children for some farm visits.
In the evening, come enjoy the fireflies in the meadow near Fay Field. Meet at 8:45 PM at the lower Rhodes on the Pawtuxet parking lot. A half-hour walk to see the firefly mating ritual. Bug repellent, long sleeves and long pants recommended. Please do not bring jars, nets, dogs or noisy electronics.
Chris Mezak of gC Farms says: “I will have some squash for this weekend. I’m not sure how much but I will bring some. I’m hoping with this week’s heat will help them along. I will also have more broccoli.’
Sounds good to me!
And all our other vendors will be there as well: Presto Strange O coffee truck, Pak Express, PV Farmstand, LeFavorite Bakery, Blue Skys Farm, Bernie B’s Honey, The Local Catch, the Market Table, Beltane Farm, Baffoni Poultry, Wedgewood Flowers and Rocky Ledge Farm. The Market Table carries products from the Virginia and Spanish Peanut Co, Rhody Fresh, Terry’s Tasty Treasures and the Olive Tap.
See you at the market.
