MARION — The Charles R. Washburn Memorial Trust ventured into un-chard-ed territory, opening a brand-new outdoor farmer’s market on Tuesday, May 27.

Fresh produce and meat, artisan crafts and savory spice rubs took center stage at the market with over 20 vendors from Massachusetts and Rhode Island in addition to live music and a temporary tattoo booth.

The Washburn Memorial Trust is a non-profit that maintains Washburn Park, where the market is held.

Market manager and president of the trust Meredith Mattson-Days began to organize the new event in January.

“I knew people that were farmers, and I said ‘Hey, we should utilize this land as a community- based spot for a farmer’s market,’” she said.

Mattson-Days “went full force on getting the vendors” and brought the project to life.

“It will benefit the community because it brings local artisans and produce here, farm fresh vegetables, meats. People [are] able to come and have a place where they can meet and get what they need,” she said.

In addition to hosting their own booth, Teal Farm owners Sybil Krawczyk and David Sanders assisted Mattson-Days with organizing the market.

“We did a lot of help setting it up, organizing it, because we’ve done a lot of farmers markets over the years,” said Sanders.

Full baskets of radishes, rhubarb, cabbage and kale packed the tables at the Teal Farm booth.

The husband and wife farming duo also procured a variety of mushrooms from Hillside Mushrooms in Little Compton, Rhode Island.

“We eat them like crazy,” said Sanders, adding that he’s always prepared to give mushroom recipe recommendations to customers.

Marion resident and business owner Diana Taft sold her artisan jewelry and a variety of hand-sewn items at her booth.

Her jewelry is crafted with a blend of distinct color palettes and Bali sterling silver.

“Both my grandparents, with their painting and their color sense, I feel that has been a huge influence in my life,” said Taft.

She cherishes in-person events like the farmer’s market, where she can engage with customers and build community around her business, Diana Taft Designs.

“I don’t like to have a website. I like to be able to talk to people, and it just makes it more meaningful,” said Taft.

Sam West manned the Hippy Pilgrim booth, which featured a variety of spices.

“Majority of what we’re known for is our raw garlic salt, but we also make gourmet seasonings, dipping oils, vanilla, sugars and rubs,” she said, describing the business as “farm to jar to table.”

Hippy Pilgrim is a Plympton-based business owned by West’s mother-in-law Susannah Sapir.

“It feels great [to be here], and it’s such a nice day. This is the best kind of weather for an opening day market,” said West.

The Washburn Memorial Trust is hosting the farmer’s market every Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. until October 7.

“Come down, enjoy the music, the atmosphere and buy some fresh produce, meats, cheeses, you name it,” said Mattson-Days.
