 WAMPANOAG WILDFLOWER HONEY
Taste the Difference in Local Honey!
Wampanoag offers local, raw honey from honeybees visiting our flowering plants and trees in the Acton, Boxborough, and Stow areas. Now in our 12th year, we often visit the ABFM after our last harvest. Booth includes educational materials on bees/beekeeping, apiary accoutrements and — weather- and hive-permitting — an observation hive. Bring your beekeeping questions, and taste our early- and late-season honey. Great for gifts, your toast, and your tea — with a local flair. Acton, MA

You can do that here. (We don't do anything else with your email address, so there's no risk you'll be inundated with "offers" from randos.)
Congrats to Lilac Hedge Farm!
 Fifteen grants (totaling $250K) have been awarded to Massachusetts farmers — including ABFM Vendor Lilac Hedge Farm — for the installation of conservation practices that prevent or mitigate direct impacts on water and air quality, and ensure efficient water use. Through the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources’ (MDAR) Agricultural Environmental Enhancement Program (AEEP), the grants will help farms across the Commonwealth fund projects that improve environmental conservation and climate change resiliency, said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton. “Whether improving soil quality or saving water, safeguarding our farms helps protect our local food supply."
