Edible summer: salad fixins by Good Roots, eggs by Freedom, wine by Coastal!
CHEAP DATE: DINNER & A MOVIE!
Summer is expensive. There’s camp, family vacations, and running those A/C units, not to mention your ice-cream-a-day habit. Lucky for you, Medford Farmers Market comes to the rescue with a cheap night out! Visit the market 3–7pm Thursday and stick around for a free screening of family-friendly Inside Out at 8pm, courtesy of Mayor Burke and the Medford Chamber of Commerce (details below). Woo your date/s with readymade sandwiches from Swissbakers or pair a schmear of peach jam from Peg’s Preserves with a hunk of challah from Bagel Land. Polish off the picnic with sweets for your sweetie/s from Oat Shop. Maybe you’ll even get a smooch or a “Thanks, Dad!” in return. xoxo
