market notes

The ABFM Operates on People Power!

The ABFM exists because of our terrific vendors; the support of local businesses, organizations, and individuals; help from the Town of Acton and staff; and the hard work of volunteers.

We need a few more adult volunteers to help manage our growing market.

Want to help? Wonderful! Please email us at volunteers@abfarmersmarket.org, or stop by our booth on Sunday.

Del's Coffee Roasters was born from a love of coffee and a drive to discover, roast and enjoy the best cups the world has to offer. The soul of the company emerged in early 2020 while delivering my freshly roasted beans door to door to friends, family and my local community during the pandemic. I learned just how much the simple pleasure of coffee can bring comfort, connect people, and lift us when we need it most. Coffee is love and who can't use more of that.

Hi-Rise Bread Company

at market every week

Rene Becker opened Hi-Rise in 1996 with a crew of six, big ideas, and a simple goal: to make staple homey foods better than home-made. He started with bread — using organic wheat, rye, and corn from independent mills — and soon moved to pastries, incorporating extra-rich European-style butter and local fruits for pies and tarts. In store, they offer soups and sandwiches, dinners sold fresh and frozen, and now fresh produce. At the market find their breads, granola, crackers, loaf cakes, pastries, and preserves to bring home!
