Boston, MA – Winter Farmers Markets

Farmers markets are one of the easiest places to sample the tasty harvests of local 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 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.

Somerville Winter Market. Open Saturdays from 9:30am - 2pm through April at The Armory, about 25 vendors are featured each week. In addition to local winter produce the market features local meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and baked goods. Most weeks there is also live music!

Dorchester Winter Market. Open Fridays from 3pm – 7pm through March 27th at the Great Hall in Codman Square. 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 – 2pm through March 14th 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, year round, at the Common 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!
