News from Ashland Farmers Market

The Ashland Farmers Market has increased the SNAP match to $25 per shopper each week!

In addition, free fruits and vegetables for SNAP users are available at 2 farm vendors under the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP).
The communities of Ashland, Natick, Holliston, and Framingham are proud to announce the MetroWest Solar + Clean Heat Challenge, a regional campaign focused on helping residents and small businesses install solar and clean heat and cooling technologies. We’re connecting home and business owners to high-quality discounted clean energy solutions that reduce utility bills, improve comfort, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The communities have secured competitive pricing from reliable installers for solar panels and clean heating and cooling systems, known as heat pumps.

Discounted program pricing is available to residents and business owners in Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, and Natick through December 2021. 

Learn more about this program and talk with the Sustainability Committee, Saturday, July 17th from 2:00 - 7:00 pm at the Corner Spot!

As part of the Ashland racial equity initiative (REI), Suffolk University’s Institute for Public Service is asking community members to share their lived experiences and reflections surrounding race, diversity, and equity. The past year has revealed heightened concerns over racial inequality throughout the United States, and the current COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these worries. The REI will aid in local government efforts to better understand how these issues are impacting Ashland’s multicultural community, with the goal of fostering and supporting a greater sense of inclusion and belonging for all who work and reside here. Your participation in the project is crucial for moving Ashland toward this goal.

If you are unable to participate in a focus group, there will be a survey available, beginning Monday, July 26th.
