Customer Appreciation Weekend - April 11 - 14, 2014

This is our Customer Appreciation Open House Weekend: April 11 - 14. We will have a blockbuster sale going on throughout the store. We will also be hosting a BBQ on Saturday, April 12th from 11:00-2:00. All donations collected will go to the fund established by the Boston Firefighter's Credit Union to benefit the families of Lt. Edward Walsh and Firefighter Michael Kennedy, who died when they became trapped fighting a fire in the Back Bay on March 26, 2014. We believe that the community is what keeps our business going year-round, so we should be giving back to the community.

Photos From Last Market Of The Season: Feb 22, 2014

It was a beautiful day for our final market of the season.  There was plenty going on at Agway: we had the Intro To Chicken Keeping seminar with Terry Golson, which was a big hit.  We also had Brian "Frank Sinatra" Henderson and Jeff Apostolakes entertaining us with their vocal prowess - amazing voices!  Many of the vendors sold out of their products, so everybody ended on a happy note!
