Flea Market booths available
There is still booth space available at the Oct. 6 Harvard Flea Market. Be part of one of Harvard’s signature events and sell some of those items that are just taking up space in your attic or basement.

Proceeds benefit the Harvard Schools Trust and the League of Women Voters of Harvard.
Donate your surplus garden produce
If you have extra fruits or vegetables from your home garden or orchard, consider donating the surplus to the Harvard Farmers Market’s Farms to Friend program. The extra produce will be delivered to people in our community who cannot afford to purchase local, healthy fruits and vegetables on their own. Bring your donations to the market tent at the Harvard Farmers Market any Saturday, except Oct. 6, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
