Farmers Market, Walpole, Mass., Held Every Wednesday 3-8 p.m. Through October

Bookmark and Share

The summer season brings us many opportunities in New England to visit Farmers Markets in some truly wonderful communities. A recent newcomer to the scene is the Walpole Farmers Market to be held every Wednesday, from 3:00 - 8:00 p.m., rain or shine, through October in downtown Walpole, Mass (municipal parking lot across from Stone Field).
A southwest Boston suburb, Walpole offers a nice small-town personality, thus, providing a nice setting for a Farmers Market.  The Walpole Farmers Market, according to Walpole's Economic Development Office, features locally-grown high quality and nutritious foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, local artisan baked goods, teas, spices, and arts and craft items. The Farmers Market Committee encourages you to come back often as products change throughout the season.  
Whether a local resident, vacationer in Boston, or anyone else looking for a nice, inexpensive "staycation" day trip, this weekly event sounds like a great summer activity.  Plus, you're helping the local economy by supporting the hard-working farmers and other local vendors in the region.
If interested in volunteering at the Farmers Market or becoming a vendor, please contact Stephanie Mercandetti at (508) 660-7352 or smercandetti@walpole-ma.gov.

Good Eeeevening!: A Perspective on New Hampshire Meteorologist Al Kaprielian

Article by Eric H., at VisitingNewEngland.com Somewhere in the 1980s, my esteemed Arlington High School journalism teacher Len Tammaro tipped me off about a New Hampshire television weatherman that he called "Crazy Al Kaprielian." That night, I couldn't believe what I saw: this nerdy-looking guy with a high-pitched voice flailing his arms all over the weather map, contorting his face in every direction, and squealing, "Good Eeeevening!" and "HIGH PRESSURE!" (his future trademark phrases)." All that boundless energy and the myriad antics left the viewer laughing, yet enervated at the same time. In this world of slick, Ken and Barbie television meteorologists, Al Kaprielian has been the antidote to the standard, unctuous television personality. Twenty-five years later, Al is still going strong on MyTV New England with his unique style --perhaps validation that he really loves his job. No doubt, Al has always been an unconventional, unique-looking a

Visiting My Grandmother Had That Antiques in Wrentham, Mass.

My Grandmother Had That...Antiques  in Wrentham, Mass., is one of those "hidden gem" antique stores that is jam-packed with antiques, collectibles and other items from the past. Located in a charming, two-story old red barn at 446 South St. (Route 1A), My Grandmother Had That...Antiques certainly lives up to its name. You'll find furniture, lamps, desks, chairs, plant holders, fine China sets and just about everything your grandma had, and also didn't have -- like a web address, Facebook fan page or any hint on the Internet that this place exists! Unless you're a Wrentham native, one familiar with the antiques industry, have driven by the red barn on South St., or somebody that just reads maps of Wrentham all day, My Grandmother Had That...Antiques is as hard to find as the rarest antique. You won't even find the name, "My Grandmother Had That," on the building, just a sign that states "Antiques." The My Grandmother Had That name is on

Where To Live In Connecticut That Has A Small Town Feel?

Noank, Conn. Editor's note: We recently received an email from one of our readers looking to possibly move to Connecticut. Here is her inquiry, followed by our response... Hi, my name is Courtney and I found your website completely truthful and helpful. I talked to my cousin who lives in the northern part of the east coast and she described exactly what you did! I am currently in Orange County, California, and don't like the "ingenuinity" (we're assuming the word is"disingenuous") and mindset of the people. I have found that Connecticut is a place with great weather and has a lot if cities with a small town feel. I was wondering if there was any way that you could help me specify my search in CT? I would like a city with a small town feel where your neighbors are sweet, but it still has a high quality of life. Essex and Stonington caught my eye, but I've never been so I can't say! Thank you for your time. Thank-you for your inquiry. We d
