Today, we turn over the BostonZest keyboard to Allison Dagger from Mass Farmers Markets so she can tell you about this year's Strawberry Dessert Festival. Take it away Allison!
Mass Farmers Markets is pleased to announce the 6th Annual Strawberry Dessert Festival – beginning Friday, June 7, 2013 through Sunday, July 7, 2013 at eateries throughout Massachusetts. Chefs and bakers at each establishment will use fresh strawberries to create strawberry dessert masterpieces not to be missed! Each eatery will donate a percentage of their sales for the dessert to Mass Farmers Markets’ (MFM) mission to promote healthy communities, healthy individuals, and healthy economies; demonstrating their commitment to local farmers markets.
Now in its sixth year, The Mass Farmers Markets Strawberry Dessert Festival was created in 2008 to highlight the local strawberry season while raising much-needed funds for Mass Farmers Markets’ mission as the only state-wide non-profit organization working to sustain and strengthen our farmers market system.
“Our Strawberry Dessert Festival is a great opportunity to support local farmers and farmers markets while enjoying the incredible taste of New England strawberries,” said Jeff Cole, Executive Director of Mass Farmers Markets (MFM). “I think this is a great way to support your local farmer beyond the farmers market!”
