Farmers’ Market fundraiser set for Feb. 12

The Beacon Farmers’ Market will sell soup on Sunday, Feb. 12 to raise money for its Greens for Greens program, which helps people with limited funds buy local produce. The program doubles the amount of money residents can spend on produce at the market.

The Soup for Greens fundraiser runs during market hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A variety of soups are available, including vegetarian and vegan options, all served in a compostable bowl. The soup is $10 if served in a compostable bowl or $25 in a ceramic bowl that can be taken home. The indoor market is in a new location this winter at the VFW Hall at 413 Main St.
