Hey Petersham. We miss you. This is Andrew from Starfire
Bakery. We are just about to open our store in
Wilmington, VT. Our journey started right there on the
Petersham Common in 2019. Our fondest memories of
Petersham include the farmers market. Being there made
us realize that we had something good. We continued on
moving to Marlboro VT. We had a bakery stand last year
and now we are moving ahead. Thank you so much for
giving us the opportunity to be at the market. We miss
everyone.
