Good morning,

On behalf of Mayor Curtatone, Shape Up Somerville is working with community partners and local farms to develop and launch a winter farmers’ market during the 2010-2011 season. We need your help to develop the best market possible!

The Shape Up Somerville Steering Committee winter market working group has developed a short survey to measure consumer demand for a Somerville winter market. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey and help spread the word by sharing it with your networks. The survey can be found here.
