NORWOOD, MA - As summer officially begins Tuesday, the farmers market will return to Norwood's Town Common with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.

Selectman Amanda Grow, who has been involved with the farmers market, said the town recently hired Norwood resident Michelle Toranto as the new farmers market manager.

"In addition to the farmers and the vendors, we are also trying to have more activities on the common," she explained. "We want to make it so you can pick up your produce and enjoy a musician one week or the next time catch a storytime reading."
