Dog Day Returns to Needham Farmers Market along with Fall Produce
This Sunday, September 14th, the Needham Farmers Market welcomes the return of fall crops. The Neighborhood Farm will be featuring delicata and butternut squashes, and a variety of potatoes, garlic, and onions. Also greens and lettuces will be coming in more abundantly.
MacArthur Farm will have locally grown watermelon, peaches, apples, raspberries, and cantaloupe all of which are picked the morning of the market. Also shoppers will not want to miss the “Mac Dozen” corn deal, 14 ears of corn for $3. Both farms have a wide variety of produce including heirloom tomatoes.
The Playful Pup is sponsoring Dog Day this Sunday. There will be lots of fun activities for dogs and kids alike. An agility play area will be set up to let dogs test out their skills on weave poles, jumps, and other activities. For kids, there will be face painting, a coloring table, and space to decorate their own PUPcake with dog-safe frosting to bring home for their furry friends. Goods for a local dog shelter will also be collected at the Manager’s Tent. The items we can take are: old or new (clean) sheets, towels, or blankets, new and gently used dog toys, especially ropes or kongs, and of course dog treats! Any donation is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use. Please remember that all friendly dogs are welcome, but must be leashed at all times.
