(Residents can call 459-5051 to apply.)
The Farmers' Market At The Crossings also helps the Town raise funds to help support maintenance of The Crossings. During 2009, the market generated almost $10,000 which was deployed to helped pay for necessary repairs at The Meeting House and the playground.
