The
second Partners Winter Market of the season opened from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
at the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium at 72 Bank Street on December 15,
2012. The market featured local vendors offering
cheese, bread, and honey, in addition to a nice selection of
greens and winter vegetables. "We're pleased to have vendors who are
offering freshly-grown produce along with a good assortment of winter
vegetables"
commented Partners
Community Health and Well-being manager Annemarie Sharkey. "Urban
Acres, an indoor farm that uses hydroponics, solar panels, grow lights
and chemical-free pesticides in the Durfee Mills complex, offered
tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers grown this way," she added. The event also
included vendors selling jewelry, crafts and photographs
as well as a raffle drawing for a terrific basket full of winter
food offerings. Click
