Limited Farmers' Market Today
 Due to a high chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms this afternoon, we will not be holding the farmers' market today. Langwater Farm WILL be here, under the roof at the north entrance of Ashmont Station, for CSA deliveries and general sales. Langwater will accept SNAP benefits and Boston Bounty Bucks as always. Thanks to the MBTA for making this arrangement possible. Looking forward to welcoming back all our farmers/vendors next week! Thanks to our market sponsors:

This individual may have made contributions to other neighborhoods, projects or citywide concerns." The 2013 winning nominee will receive $2,000 and a plaque, and their story will be published in the local media.
