The Needham Farmers Market will be saying \u201cGoodby Pluto\u201d by recognizing the day Pluto was no longer considered a planet. On this day in 2006 the International Astronomical Union redefined the term “planet” such that Pluto no longer qualified, and instead was redefined as a “dwarf planet” of which we have many hundreds in our solar system<\/span>. The market is asking for the children\u2019s help in bidding farewell to the little planet by writing down the name of the eight planets that make up our solar system. The first 20 participating children will receive $5 in \u201cfarmers bucks\u201d to spend at any of the day\u2019s vendors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her all-natural homemade breads can be enjoyed plain or with any favorite spread such as butter and honey. When you stop by for a free sample at the farmers market she will have you try her favorite bread recipe which includes walnuts and raisins.<\/span><\/p>\n
