It doesn’t look much like summer right now, but sunny days must be on the way because the Fairhaven outpost of the Bellingham Farmers Market opens tomorrow. The Wednesday Market is a friendly, low-key market held noon -5pm every Wednesday (duh!) from June through September in the Fairhaven Village Green behind Village Books.
