Farm Stand is Back!

Once again fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers are available on Mondays and Thursdays on Watchung Avenue near City Hall.

Bonus - while you are selecting your choices today, you will be enchanted by the delicious scent of a Linden tree in bloom! The tree's exquisite perfume is wafting all over the immediate vicinity of the farm stand.

Read more about the Linden tree at the Urban Wildlife Guide.

  1. I know, I know, yes I know. Cold water on your delight, but who decides who can open up a stand on City Property [or is it private the city has annexed] and put up competition to the stores paying property taxes??

    1. The land belongs to the Salvation Army. The summer program includes vouchers for WIC clients and seniors to get fresh produce.
      WIC is a federal program. Not sure they are competing with local stores. BTW, have you ever taken a close look at produce at the nearest supermarket? Often it is iffy at best.
