Hoe Down, Sign Up
The rainy Saturdays are piling up – and so is the harvest. Here are some notes about this Saturday’s market from the Friends of the Pawtuxet.
It just can’t rain three Saturdays in a row, so we are hoping for a good day at the Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market. More varieties of apples are arriving to join summer squash, green beans, radishes, tomatoes, and much more. Despite the weather last Saturday, the Happy Hollow Nursery School had a good bake sale, selling out except for one item, and making over $100.[where: 02910]Hoe Down
