Saturdays are for Farmer’s Markets! Thank you to Cynthia Loesch-Johnson for the invite to join the Codman Square Farmer’s Market this weekend and to all the vendors who work so hard to bring their wares to the community.

Congratulations to sweeties for opening their doors in Roslindale!

This unique shop is LBGTQ+, BIPOC owned featuring New Zealand style ice cream shop with fun flavors using local ingredients.

Yesterday, we stopped by Rozzie Bound Books for their Consumer Owner Appreciation event with Councilor Pepén! This indie gem in Roslindale is a unique multi-stakeholder cooperative, meaning it’s owned by both the workers and the customers. It’s always incredible to have the opportunity to visit and connect with local businesses.

Despite the rain, we had a successful day connecting with Mattapan’s business community during our business walk with Councilor Pepen. Our team visited several local businesses, engaging with owners and staff to discuss their experiences and concerns.

On Friday, we engaged in a small business walkthrough, connecting with the vibrant small businesses of Mission Hill. Together with the Office of Economic Development, Fire Department, Police Department, and Mission Hill Main Streets, we’re committed to empowering our local entrepreneurs. Their stories and ideas inspire our dedication to building a stronger, more resilient community.

Congratulations to the 30 Legacy Business Award recipients! At Wednesday’s reception, we heard inspiring words from Chief Segun Idowu and Small Business Director Aliesha Porcena.
