Melrose Vendors to Attend Mahoney's Winter Market in Winchester

Dozens of vendors, including a few from Melrose, will be displaying their wares when Mahoney's second annual Winter Market kicks off Saturday morning at the Garden Center located at 242 Cambridge St.

Melrose-based vendors Cannistraci Fine Foods and Just Add [Fruit] will be among those participating in the Winter Market this year, according to Mahoney's spokeswoman Lisa Roberts.

The Winter Market, which opens Jan. 12, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday until March 16, according to a Mahoney's Garden Center press statement. Local farmers, artisans and other area businesses will be selling their products, including root vegetables, herbs, fruits, cheeses, meats, seafood, baked breads, desserts, and olive oils, plus select jewelry and clothing, according to the statement.

"It’s amazing to see the variety of fresh vegetables grown in winter at our local farms," Pamela Vasques, event coordinator for Mahoney’s Garden Centers, said in the statement. "Plus, with all the other delicious foods and vendors – well, it doesn’t get any better than this."

Some of the vendors that will be involved with the Winter Market this year include: Andover Farm Greens, Big Sky Bakery, C&C Lobster and Fish, Cannistraci Fine Foods, Cape Cod Fish Share and Piantedosi Bakery. In addition to the vendors, Mahoney’s will have a variety of flowering houseplant and pottery specials, according to the statement.

A few changes are in store for the Winter Market in its second year, according to Roberts.

"Mahoney’s received a few requests for more produce vendors and they’ve done their best to bring more of those vendors in," wrote Roberts in an email to Winchester Patch Tuesday. "The lists for both stores are a bit longer so there should be something for everyone there."
