Winchester Farmers Market

The market is scheduled to open on June 10th this year. You can donate to Anna's Fund before the market opens. What is Anna's Fund? The Anna LaViolette SNAP Matching Fund was created to honor the memory of our great friend, Anna LaViolette. Anna, an 85-year-old volunteer, was with us only two short years but she rarely missed a Saturday staffing the manager’s tent. She embodied the spirit of what the Market aspires to be: always welcoming, inquisitive, and vibrant. She was a strong believer in our mission of providing healthy, fresh food to all families.

Aberjona River Day - April 22

The Winchester Conservation Commission is once again sponsoring its annual effort to improve the habitat, environment and water quality of the Aberjona River. The Winchester Cultural District and the Griffin Museum have commissioned two found art sculptures, a herring and a heron - by Winchester resident & sculptor August Westner and photographer & conceptual artist Stefanie Timmerman, respectively. Both animals are native to the Aberjona River. Clean up and fill up these found art sculptures with the trash from your efforts. We need your help to make the most impact!
