About Wilmington Farmers Market

The Wilmington Farmers Market Association is a group of volunteers dedicated to bringing a farmers market to our town every summer. The Market was started in 2010 and continues to grow each year.

The Market is located on the Town Common across from the High School located at 140 Middlesex Ave.  The Association’s mission is:

• To provide a place where community members can purchase fresh produce directly from local New England Farmers.
• To provide a diverse and interesting selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables, and locally produced goods.
• To educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
• To partner with local organizations such as the library, area health centers and fitness organizations to promote education about healthy eating.
• To provide a self-sustaining social experience and to foster a sense of community in Wilmington.

About the Academy of Traditional Karate:

The Academy of Traditional Karate teaches classical Okinawan karate with a special focus on the traditional values behind karate such as focus, confidence, self-discipline, respect, honor, and goal achievement as well as the more physical benefits including self-defense, fitness, and stress reduction. We offer a world-class curriculum that spans the entire range of karate students, from very young beginning students to more advanced adult black belts.

About Blue House Santa:

We are a local teacher and a nurse. We started Blue House Santa in 2020 when we thought no one would get a Santa photo. We did socially distant photos in our driveway. When 2021 rolled around we were still doing it. We hope to do it long into the future. We do not charge for photos, but we do take donations. Those donations go back into the local community. Our stated goal is to help as many people as we can!

About We’re One Wilmington:

We’re One Wilmington (WOW) was founded with the simple yet powerful mission of strengthening our community one good deed at a time.
