The Easton Farmers' Market is going to spend the next few months indoors. Starting today -- from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. -- the market moves to Easton's Nurture Nature Center at 518 Northampton St. There, you'll find 20 vendors selling produce, pasture-raised meat and eggs, artisan cheese and bread, baked goods, wine, chocolates, organic prepared foods and holiday wreaths. The market will remain indoors until May 2013, when it returns to Centre Square.

Nurture Nature Center will host farmers' market in Easton's winter months.
Cold weather isn't enough to stop the Easton Farmers' Market from growing. Starting in November, the market will run year round with the help of the Nurture Nature Center, officials from both organizations said Friday. The center -- at 518 Northampton Street -- will open its ballroom to roughly 25 vendors each Saturday starting November 24.

The National Coaliation Building Institute hosted a program Monday night to allow residents of Easotn to get to know their police department a little bit better. The news that came out of the evening? Easton's all-male police force won't be all-male much longer. According to the Express-Times, Det. Matthew Rush told the audience that a new female officer will begin training for patrol duty in July. The program drew about 15 residents to the Nurture Nature Center. Guillermo Lopez of the NCBI told the newspaper the evening was about getting residents to see the people behind the badges.
