Sowing the seeds



Here are a couple of great articles from the Pembroke Express and Pembroke Mariner about the market. Thanks to both of them for getting the word out. We are already starting to get calls and emails from potential vendors. Whether you are a vendor or would simply like to see a market in Pembroke, please send us an email at farmersmarketpembroke@gmail.com and we'll keep you posted.
Thanks

Welcome!


Hi there,

Welcome to the new website for the Pembroke Farmers Market that will, hopefully, launch during the summer of 2010. Christine Falk and Matt York are sister and brother and are in the process of securing a location, vendors, permits and more. This week we met with the Selectmen who were supportive of our idea. In the coming months, we’ll be holding meetings at the town hall to find out what fellow Pembrokians want to see at their market. We also will need volunteers that can help us bring this to fruition. This year, Hanover, Hanson and Duxbury all have launched markets and there’s no reason to believe that Pembroke can’t have one as well. Please spread the word about our website and check back regularly for updates. If you’d like to join our mailing list so that you can keep up on the latest news, please send an email to
