Vendor news:  Late Fall CSA shares beginning next Friday at the Hill ORchard.  This late Fall share goes thru mid Dec.   With an extra big share Thanksgiving week (the share that week gets changed to Tuesday).

More info at www.farmerdaves.net  Also the Hill Orchard will remain open thru Thanksgiving.

SW will be extending the Westford Solar for all campaign with our partner, Next Step Living, through December to try and reach our goal! We currently have 225 assessments with a goal of 300.

Let’s DO IT!

Sustainable Westford is partnering with Cradles to Crayons to provide a recycling resource for local families who wish to put their children’s gently used items to good use.   Cradles to Crayons will be at the Westford Farmers Market  collecting gently used clothes, shoes, books, and toys. The organization is especially in need of new hats and gloves to prepare for the winter season. They will be at every market until the end of the season!

Cradles to Crayons is a Boston nonprofit organization that provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items such as clothes, school supplies, books, and shoes.  •  Remember to clean out your basement and closets and bring it to the market!
