Haverhill is Growing! Who's Going?

The older I get, the earlier I wake up. What seems like just a few short years ago, I was able to sleep past noon easily.


Now, I find myself aimlessly putting around the house at 8 a.m. if not 7 a.m., on Saturday mornings.

My sleeping habits really aren't the point, I promise.

Instead, I am giving you a reason to set your alarm clocks Saturday:The Haverhill Farmer's Market!

You may have already heard the buzz, as the Haverhill Gazette and Eagle Tribune both sang the market's praises after its seasonal debut on July 18.

The market is located on the edge of G.A.R. Park, and runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. I highly recommend showing up early. Last week the cheese, and eggs sold out quickly. This is going on every Saturday until Halloween this year.

The market offers fresh produce and dairy products from local vendors, but there are some unexpected finds including, live music, arts and crafts demonstrations, locally handmade jewelery and clothing. It's also a great place to bump into old friends and make new ones.
