SMAMS is honored to welcome our newest annual  sponsor, Vargas & Vargas Insurance.  Vargas & Vargas, located at 1133 Washington Street in Lower Mills, has been supporting SMAMS events for years, and we welcome their commitment as our first "Local Business Sponsor" on an annual basis. 

Vargas & Vargas is a strong community supporter beyond SMAMS - their "Cash Mob Dorchester" and  "Boston's Best Neighbor" promotions are just two examples of their commitment.

Vargas & Vargas joins a strong family of SMAMS corporate sponsors:  Trinity Financial, Carney Hospital, CWC Builders, Boston Main Streets, and the Boston Main Streets Foundation.

Langwater Farm "CSA" returns to farmers' market

Langwater Farm 07-06-12 (by Carlos Vargas)

Even as the next snowstorm approaches, spring is just around the corner, with the Ashmont/Peabody Square Farmers' Market to follow soon! One of the favorite features of the market is the "CSA" (community supported agriculture) shares offered by Langwater Farm, a certified organic farm in North Easton. 

With a CSA, a consumer buys a share in the farm's harvest - helping the farm to fund its operations, and ensuring a supply of tasty food every week throughout the market season.  For more information on Langwater's "Ashmont Farmers' Market CSA," please visit www.langwaterfarm.com or email the farm: langwaterfarm@gmail.com
