Farmers and Farm Products

It takes a village to press cider!The agricultural vendors at the festival offer amazing, locally grown and produced products that celebrate the bounty of the North Quabbin and surrounding regions. Through on-going demonstrations and workshops you’ll learn to grow your own garlic, experience live honeybees, make an herbal tincture, or delight in a flower garland or wheat weaving. Celebrate this feast of the land, honor the good work of farmers, and rejoice in the harvest season.

2013 Vendor Inquiries: We are only considering new applications from those who live in the North Quabbin region and farm or produce a farm product that fills a unique niche at the festival. If you meet both criteria and want to talk, call Ricky at 978-544-7564.
