The community table at tomorrow's Haverhill Farmers Market will feature the Essex County Greenbelt Association, a member-supported nonprofit land trust that has conserved more than 13,000 acres of land in Essex County.
Greenbelt works with local communities and landowners to acquire and protect ecological areas, farmland and scenic vistas. One of its major goals is the creation of "greenbelts" consisting of river, trail and other natural corridors, coastal systems and visually intact landscapes.
The market is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located at the edge of GAR Park, on Bailey Boulevard. The market expanded this year and now features more than 10 vendors offering locally raised, grown or made items such as vegetables, eggs, cheeses, honey, ice-cream, baked goods and crafts. More information is available online at www.haverhillfarmersmarket.org.
