As the season changes, our Marketplace will also be changing. While we will continue to support LOCAL BUSINESSES, we are truly here for YOU, our customers. We want your feedback. We want to know what you love and what you want to see more of - or less. I watched a customer leave with a flat of wheatgrass two weeks ago. Thrilled to see the support of our vendors I said, "I love seeing this!" as she carried the tray of wheatgrass high above the heads of the other customers turning the corner at the Red Barn Coffee station. She told me now she doesn't have to drive to Waltham to get wheatgrass. I don't want any of our customers to drive ANYWHERE for things we can offer locally. SPEAK UP! We can find a local option to meet your needs. What do you buy weekly? Could you make a change and buy locally? Our vendors are willing to make it for you, or if we can't, we will find a local vendor. We are building it so you will come. What makes you come visit us?
