HomeGrown Market Mission:
The mission of the HomeGrown Market is to provide the Topsfield community a series of family friendly events that emphasizes supporting local and offer the opportunity for Topsfield and surrounding North Shore farmers, gardeners, artisans, creators, performers, musicians, nonprofits, young entrepreneurs, and local businesses to showcase their product, and/or talents, in a welcoming and organized community based marketing alternative.
What is the HomeGrown Market?
HGM is an outdoor market, organized by Topsfield Recreation, for local businesses/entrepreneurs who may utilize local ingredients, grow their own fruits/vegetables/herbs, handcraft the products they make, etc. and give these businesses another opportunity to promote what they have to offer. We are focusing on Topsfield or North Shore businesses which adds to our “home grown” theme. We think of the North Shore as our backyard and there are so many wonderful small businesses and talented individuals who deserve to show off these talents and thrive! Live music, food trucks, beer or wine tasting, and other activities will take place as well.
