Farmers Market: Nourse Farm

One of the farms frequently found at the Farmers Market on the Town Common is Nourse Farm. This photo from June depicts Samantha Nourse explaining the process for their fruits and pies.


The strawberry picking season is over but you should find something good at the Nourse Farm table each week at the Farmers Market.

Visit the Nourse Farm web site for more information on their organic growing process. They also offer tips and tricks for growing your own garden.

Buy local!

The Farmers Market is held each Friday until October
on the Town Common from noon to 6:00 PM.

Senior Center Activities - Sep 2009

The Senior Center has a whole lot of things happening. Take a gander through the listing for September!

The first page alone covers activities from the Men's Club, to having your hearing screened, to card games, to driver training, and to credit counseling.

Discover Simple, Private Sharing at Drop.io

If you can't find something to do, maybe you can get something together for next time!

If your parents are living in Franklin, do they utilize the Senior Center (assuming they qualify by being over 60). If they don't use the Senior Center, I would be curious to understand why.
