Amesbury Farmers' Market Minutes

Welcome to Market Minutes! Each week before our Wednesday Market, we will give you special events and vendors to look forward to.

Wednesday: August 17th 2022

We have an indoor market today! Thanks to the indoor space of BareWolf Brewing, we are rain or shine and moving our vendors indoors! We will still have our food trucks parked in the lot for dinner, so grab some food from the trucks and meet us indoors!

We will also be selling raffle tickets at our Customer Service tent for a chance to win a basket of local prizes! 100% of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to local Our Neighbors Table.

Featured Non-Profit: The Pettingill House, INC

Last market day for donation!

We are a donation center for the Pettingill House's Operation Backpack!

Operation Backpack is an annual summer backpack and school supply drive for students pre-k through 12th grade. This supplemental basic needs program is an integral part of our School Linked Services. The goal of Operation Backpack is to ensure that EVERY student can attend school ready to learn.

Amesbury-Opoly!

Also in August, we are thrilled to be a part of this year's Amesbury-Opoly with the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce!

Stop by our market during any of the 5 Wednesdays of August and make a purchase from any of our vendors. Then venture to our Customer Service tent to receive your Amesbury-Opoly card!

Schedule:

3:00PM: We're OPEN!

Our kid's table is indoors today! Clare from the Amesbury Public Library will be hosting story time at 3:30. The kids table will also have new crafts and activities, face-painting, scavenger hunts, toys, and blocks throughout the entire market.

4:00PM - 7:00PM: Live music is indoors today!

Lee Biddle is an American Singer-Songwriter from Newburyport Massachusetts. By day he is a teacher at a Montessori School and by night he enjoys playing music at any venues looking for an acoustic set. His voice has been compared to folk legends Jim Croce and Gordon Lightfoot which comes as no surprise as they are two of his greatest heroes and sources for inspiration.

New Vendor Spotlight! Victor DeLuna

Victor has been creating bespoke hand carved and hand painted wooden signage for over 50 years. New England locals will be familiar with his work from the iconic Flatbread pizza signage! With technology on the rise, vinyl cutting and 3D printing has begun to take over. One of the last craftsmen of a dying art form, Victor hopes to keep this old craft alive and appreciated for years to come. Visit Victor today, indoors at the Amesbury Farmers' Market!
