The Framingham Farmers Market’s 2024 season is fast approaching, with its first day slated for Thursday June 20th! In addition to various vendors and organizations being present, The Frame wanted to check in on some of the farms that will be setting up weekly along the Centre Common. Kelly’s Farm- which is located in Upton Massachusetts- is returning this year. And Heavens Harvest Farm will be making the trek from New Braintree. Both of these farm’s managers stressed the importance of supporting local farmers, especially following a grueling 2023 growing season which saw devastating flooding, frost, and a deep freeze.
