The June 15 market will feature a wide array of farms and vendors including fresh fruit and vegetables from Massachusetts’ own Silverbrook Farm and Brookford Farm. Matt’s Amazing Smokehouse will be selling locally sourced fish which is smoked the same day in micro-batches. And Winthrop vendors like Merrill Frank Pottery and La Petite Boutique will be selling crafts, clothing, jewelry and accessories.
