Farmers
markets are one of the easiest places to find the tasty harvests of
Boston,
MA farms. You'll find a diversity of foods fresh from the fields
and meet the people who grow your meal. Plus, every dollar paid
directly to a local grower is a dollar reinvested into Boston,
MA communities. Many of us frequent the markets during the summer
months but there are plenty of options in the winter too to continue
to buy locally grown food. Here are a sampling of some of the farmers
markets that are open this winter in the Boston area.
Jamaica
Plain/Roxbury/Egleston Farmers Market. Open
Saturdays from 10am-2pm through February 22nd at Our Lady of Lourdes
Parish. In addition to local winter produce the market features local
meat, fish, eggs, cheese, bread, and baked goods.
Dorchester/Codman
Square Winter Market. Open
Sundays from 12pm – 4pm through March 24th at the Codman Square
Health Center in Boston. Each week features community organizations,
children's activities, and special guests. Several local farms have a
bounty of winter vegetables to offer along with local meat, seafood,
cheese, and more.
Mahoney's
Winter Market. Open
Saturdays from 10am – 3pm through March 15th at Mahoney's Garden
Center in Winchester. Locally-grown root vegetables, herbs, cheese,
meat, seafood, and baked goods. Select jewelry and clothing from
local Boston,
MA vendors will also be featured weekly.
Natick
Winter Farmer Market. Open
Saturdays from 9am – 1pm through April 19th at the Coomon Street
Church in Natick. This market features several farms, local meat and
poultry, wine, seafood, coffee/tea, breads/pastries, Wicked Good
Chowder, cookies, cheese, honey, and assorted pickled vegetables.
I hope
you take the time to visit one or more of these markets and fill your
pantry with locally grown, sustainable food. As your Boston,
MA real estate agent I am always here should you have a question
on a Boston,
MA neighborhood such as South
End, Fenway,
Beacon
Hill, or any other. I thoroughly enjoy getting prospective
residents familiar with new neighborhoods and exposing them to the
best of everything Boston has to offer. I hope to speak with you
soon!
