From Their Hands to Yours

Stories from the Market

Super Bowl Sunday: Game On at the Market 

It’s about yelling your head off with your buddies. The roller coaster of yards gained and lost. The endless commentary, hot takes and speculation.  

Thirty-two teams. Seventeen games. Eighteen weeks.  Three postseason rounds. Conference Championships.  Then … two long weeks of silence. 

It’s the dead of winter. Snow piles up. The cold settles in.  And everything has been building toward this one moment. 

The Super Bowl is this Sunday. 

Whether you’re hosting a full house or watching with your besties, your favorite Market has everything you need to make game day unforgettable — from kickoff snacks to fourth-quarter desserts. 

Our vendors are ready. Game on. 

Grab your coffee from Coffee & Biscotti and make your play gaining yards as you walk through the Market. 

Opening Play: Kickoff Your Snack Table 

Start strong with a lineup built for serious fans. Shop early. Get back home. Ready the kitchen. 

Swing by Flying M Farms if buffalo chicken dip is on your roster. Her locally raised, personally processed pastured chicken brings fresh, local flavor that levels up any game-day dish. 

Planning deviled eggs? In addition to Flying M, you’ll also find great options from Brookford Farm and Hurd Farm. While at Brookford, pick up some cured meats and cheese, with a selection added from Abbot Hill Creamery for your charcuterie board. 

Crunch time hits fast, so stock up on Holy Moly’s crispy beef chips, available in a variety of flavors — perfect for mid-game cravings and a protein boost to carry you through the long haul. 

Build a winning cheese board with Abbot Hill Farm’s cheeses, made from local grass-fed cows, served alongside Woody’s fresh, still-warm baguettes or his toasted mini crostini. 

 

Green 19! (Yes, We’re Calling an Audible) 

It’s Super Bowl time and last-minute changes to menu are just as common. You’re the QB, be ready to balance comfort food with an MVP healthy option. 

Meta Microgreens brings serious flavor and nutrition to salads, sandwiches and wraps — choose from spicy or mild blends. Add some mushrooms from Joyberry Farm and other veggies from Brookford. 

Build a Super Bowl–worthy salad with Woodman’s Artisan Bakery’s croutons or Anderson’s Mini Maples maple-covered pecans, then finish with a bold vinaigrette made from F-Word Farm’s probiotic, fermented vinegars. Ask Emily for pairing suggestions — she’s got you covered. 

And for the true New England pun lovers: 

Why not make your own MAYE-onnaise this weekend? Fresh eggs, a little oil and a nod to Pats QB Drake Maye — it’s homemade Maye-o done right. Add some garlic from Lindon Garlic Farm.  

Halftime Show: Homemade Chili, Chowder and Ready-to-Eat Deliciousness 

Your chili recipe is already a dazzler — don’t let the ingredients be the weak link. 

Head to Brookford Farm or Hurd Farm for local, grass-fed beef that brings depth and richness to every bite. Have any sauce from Big Rich’s Gourmet Hot Sauce & Marinade on hand? Perfect condiment to adjust the heat as the game heats up. What fresh caught dayboat fish can you work chowder magic with? Stop by New England Fishmongers and see what’s on their roster. 

Bring home some of Dona Issa’s ready-to-eat hot treats and a tray of Meatball King’s meatballs and sauce. (And don’t forget bread from Woodman’s to sop up all the sauce.) Grab a pie or two from Orazio’s Family Dinners to heat up.  

Second Half: Dessert Wins Championships 

Load up your dessert table with treats from Bookworm Bakery, Orazio and September Farm — sweet breads, cookies, pies and other irresistible favorites 

Chocolate lovers, don’t miss KRM Chocolates. Twisted Mallow Co is back this week with … These also make excellent hostess gifts. 

Don’t Forget the Pooch 

No defensive maneuvers are needed at the snack table if your furry teammate is covered. Barkalicious Treats are made with all-natural, locally grown ingredients and come in shareable sizes — perfect for your favorite canine offensive lineman. 

Time Outs 

Is your equipment ready? 

If you’ll be heading outside at all — a pre-game walk, halftime breather, or post-game celebration — make sure you’re geared up for real New England winter. 

Layer up with a cozy sweatshirt, jacket, or flannel from Kirasole Studio — comfortable, easy, and made for long game days that stretch into the evening. Or maybe one of their new teddy bear or kitty stuffies to squeeze during tense moments.

Everything Alpaca has ultra-warm gloves and socks that are soft, breathable, and built to handle the cold. 

And don’t forget the sidelines essentials. Slippery Soap Co. offers nourishing lotions and lip balm to keep hands and lips from drying out, while a beaded bracelet from Cosmic Happiness adds a little calm, intention or good-luck energy — because every team can use it on Super Bowl Sunday.
