Boyertown (BBB) organization, has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Cabot
Supermetals and the Cabot Corporation Foundation and a $3,500 grant from

members of the community, in recognizing the mission of BBB and the
Boyertown Farmer’s Market to develop downtown economic opportunities and
promote the health and wellness of the community.
The funds awarded will be used to create economic opportunities between all
the businesses in Boyertown, support local farmers, educate the public on
health and wellness and provide a center for community activities
This will be the second season for the Boyertown Farmer’s Market, which
reopened on June 7th. The outdoor market hours are, 10am until 1pm at l00
South Walnut Street in Boyertown and will run until November 1st.
Heather Oxenford, Building A Better Boyertown’s Main Street Manager says
“BBB believes strongly in developing Boyertown, promoting the Boyertown
Farmer’s Market and enhancing the small-town feel that makes Boyertown so
special. With the uprising costs of fuel, the Boyertown Farmer’s Market
creates an environment to “Buy Fresh, Buy Local” Everyone is welcome to
come out and treat themselves to family fun and reconnect to their
community! The opportunity that these two organizations have given us truly
expresses their acknowledgement to a sense of place and community support.”
