Celebrating Farmers' Market Week in Belmont

Thursday was sunny and warm, a perfect combination to bring out residents to the Belmont Farmers' Market and to celebration Massachusetts Farmers' Market Week.

The day was marked with raffle tickets, prizes and give aways and tastings from Belmont's best restauranteurs to mark the day.

Savinos Grill's Tom Cutrone, who was busy with Boston Restaurant Week, created a concoction of mango and other ingredients that took some of the late summer heat away.

But it was the vendors who the people came to see, purchasing breads, produce, salsa, old fashion sodas, ravioli and baked goods.

The Belmont Farmers' Market is held every Thursday through the end of October, rain or shine, and is located in the municipal parking lot in Belmont Center, at the intersection of Cross Street and Channing Road, behind the stores on Leonard Street.

The Belmont Farmers' Market was awarded 2009 Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and was named runner-up to neighboring Lexington in this year's publication.
